CINCINNATI — Joey Votto’s $20 million option for 2024 was declined Saturday by the Reds, making the first baseman a free agent and possibly ending his career with Cincinnati after 17 seasons.
Votto will get a $7 million buyout, completing a contract that guaranteed $251.5 million over 12 seasons. Cincinnati also declined its part of a $4 million mutual option with catcher Curt Casali, who gets a $750,000 buyout. “At this point of the offseason, based on our current roster and projected plans for 2024, as an organization we cannot commit to the playing time Joey deserves,” general manager Nick Krall said in a statement. “He forever will be part of the Reds’ family, and at the appropriate time we will thank and honor him as one of the greatest baseball players of this or any generation.”Cubs slugger Bellinger declines $25M option for 2024, will test market after bounce-back seasonVotto, 40, hit .
