Look: Joey Votto Reveals New Jersey Number, Explains Decision to Sign With Blue Jays

Reds legend Joey Votto will wear No. 37 for the Blue Jays. 

"I don't want to let go," Votto told reporters on Sunday. "I still feel like I have ability. The last couple of years I was not as healthy as I would have liked to have been."

Votto signed a minor league deal and is expected to start the season in the minor leagues. His goal is to show everyone that he's still capable of playing at a high level.
