Former MVP Joey Votto, who has been openly pleading for an opportunity to play in recent weeks, agreed to a minor-league deal with a Toronto Blue Jays, according to industry sources.
Less than 24 hours earlier, Votto indicated on the ESPN exhibition broadcast Thursday that he would do whatever was required of him to get another chance at playing again. "I'll do whatever it takes to get back on a major-league field," Votto said, in an appearance via Zoom.
I am excited about the opportunity to work my way back to the Major Leagues.
