ArmyBengal Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Well we knew it would cost the Reds to keep him, but wow. From the AP...CINCINNATI (AP)—Joey Votto(notes) powered the Cincinnati Reds to their first playoff appearance in 15 years, winning the NL MVP award for a breakthrough season.The first baseman earned a raise, and boy, did he get one.Votto has agreed to a $38 million, three-year contract with Cincinnati, buying out his arbitration years and giving the reigning NL Central champs some short-term budget security.A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press about the deal on Sunday on condition of anonymity because the contract had not yet been announced.Votto was a first-time All-Star in 2010, finishing second in the NL in batting average at .324 and third in homers (37) and RBIs (113). He led the NL in slugging percentage (.600), topped the major leagues in on-base percentage (.424) and had 16 stolen bases in 21 chances.He made $525,000 last year and was eligible for arbitration for the first time.

BengalszoneBilly Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 He's worth every penny. Quote
kevinc1129 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Money well spent imo.I was really nervous about the Reds not being able to resign him. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Dumping Harang's salary had to make this much easier and yeah, I agree about it being worth the money.At least one of the local teams are willing to spend money to make themselves better !!!GO REDS !!! Quote
