Joey Votto finished in the top 7 in MVP voting 3 straight years (and 6 of last 8) before having a down season in 2017.

He is an amazing player, but his contract is ridiculous for a guy his age. He will be 35 next year and he still has 5 years at $25 million a year guaranteed. The only point of a contract like that is to pay a guy for his loyalty and re-signing to retie with the Reds. It is not the kind of contract that can be traded away very easily.
