Some of this has been joking around, but I'm not joking on this.  Just as some said to keep AJ Green or Andy Dalton or that top pick WR that never panned out, I think his name Ross or something, or to keep Burfict. New Bengals dumped payroll on many in order to build a Super Bowl team.  Reds must do the same.  Reds have dumped much payroll.  Next year they will no longer have to pay The Moose to play for Colorado.  Go that one step further, and no more Votto.  Just as it became time for Take A Seat Pete, it is time for Let Go Of Votto.  He should retire end of this year and Reds have Joey Votto Day.  If he goes to another team next year, then Reds have Joey Votto Day in a year to be named later.  The Reds need to take what they pay Votto and apply it to keeping the other players on this 2023 team into the future.  

Votto is The Past and these new Reds are The Future.....Just as AJ Green, and Ross and Dalton and Burfict became The Past, and these new Bengals became The Future. 

There came a time for Take A Seat Pete.  Now it is time for Let Go Of Votto.
