If he can keep up his MVP type performance for another three season, then sign him again and if he is asking too much then let him go. But I will say this, he would have been a Red for another three years regardless unless traded. If Joey starts sucking, now he won't even be a trade bait given his salary.
Votto also said, “But I can’t imagine playing anywhere else,” he said. “I enjoy myself. I can’t imagine being with a better team. The Yankees or Red Sox — that’s a lot to deal with. I don’t want to go anywhere else.” I don't buy all that BS from Votto, after his three years is up, he will go where the money is. That's what everyone does and that's what he will do too. But lets hope in the next three year, he's will take the Reds to the promise land. Follow @cilii_blog
