Joey Votto's wait to play baseball field again is over as he agreed to a non-roster invite with the Toronto Blue Jays, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.
The deal, pending a physical, features a $2 million base salary if Votto makes the team and $2 million more in incentives, per Sportsnet's Shi Davidi.
Votto, a Toronto native, had been without a team after the Cincinnati Reds declined his club option for 2024, making the 17-year veteran a free agent.
"I am excited about the opportunity to work my way back to the Major Leagues," Votto posted on X Friday afternoon.
