Votto's a 40-year-old free agent now. Maybe he can sign with someone, but his last two years have been injury-plagued, so the likelihood isn't super high. He didn't get a farewell tour with the Reds, though, so I still hold onto the slim sliver of a scintilla of a chance he'll come back, somehow, someway.

The Reds only missed the playoffs this year by a couple games, so they were already on the precipice and couldn't bear to peek over, haha. That can be racked up to rookie fatigue, though; it'll be a different story this year, hopefully.
