The Joey Votto 10 year highest paid Red ever, No Trade Contract is coming to an end next season.  Oh, they have an option for 2024 at a much lower pay scale.  So I'm not sure if Joey Votto Retirement Day is at end of 2023 or 2024, but the Reds are about to free up payroll to where they don't have to cut every good player on the team each year to pay Votto.  Hopefully the Reds NEVER make a 10 year No Trade contract again.  So the good news is the Reds are coming to an end of this, one way or another.  

This is wrong.  The 2024 is a buyout - not an option. The reds will have to pay him 7Million not to show up in 2024, and make 20 Million. 

So, they will save 13M.
