Joey Votto (40) is expected to continue his career as a player for the Toronto Blue Jays, an American professional baseball team based in Canada.

MLB.com reported on the 9th (Korean time), “Votto is not guaranteed to enter the major league roster with Toronto, and has signed a contract to join spring camp as an invited player,” and added, “If Votto re-enters the big league, $2 million is guaranteed.” “You can receive a bonus of $2 million depending on your performance,” he said.

The media also emphasized that “Canadian baseball icon Votto is going to his hometown team,” and that “Votto, who grew up west of downtown Toronto, has the opportunity to extend his career with the Canadian team.” 카지노사이트

The club has not yet officially announced the recruitment of Votto, but Votto said on his social network service (SNS), "I am happy to have the opportunity to return to the major league." "It is even sweeter to try to enter the big league wearing the uniform of Toronto, my hometown team." “Work,” he wrote.

Votto began his professional career by being drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the second round, 44th overall, in 2002.

He made his big league debut in 2007 and played for only one team until 2023.

His major league performance is 2,056 games, batting average of 0.294 (2,135 hits in 7,252 at-bats), on-base percentage of 0.409, slugging percentage of 0.511, 356 home runs, and 1,144 RBI.

In 2010, he was selected as the National League's Most Valuable Player (MVP) and ranked first in National League on-base scoring seven times.He was also selected as an All-Star six times.

However, there was a downward curve starting in 2019, and the batting average was only 0.205 in 2022 and 0.202 in 2023.

After the 2023 season, Cincinnati refused to extend the contract with Votto, and Votto expressed his intention to extend his active career, saying, "I miss baseball. I really want to play."
