Reds Legend Joey Votto Reacts After Agreeing to Deal With Blue Jays

Joey Votto is signing a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays.

After months of wondering about his future, the Reds legend knows he has to prove himself, but he's clearly excited to be back in baseball. 

"Bags are packed! Back to ball!" Votto wrote on Instagram. "Thank you for the support over these last few months. It has meant a lot."

Votto appeared in 2,056 career games for the Reds, finishing with 2,135 hits, 1,365 walks, 356 home runs and 1,144 RBI. He posted a .294 batting average and a .920 OPS. He posted a .202/.314/.433 slash line in 65 games last season.

The Reds declined Votto's option in November. Now he's hoping to make his hometown team.
