Former Cincinnati Reds legend and first baseman Joey Votto is drawing interest from several different MLB media partners, according to Front Office Sports. <\/a><\/p>\n

While Votto was with the Reds, he would occasionally hop in the TV booth and help call games for a couple of innings, which fans loved. <\/p>\n

“The free agent is drawing interest from several members of MLB\u2019s new lineup of media partners, sources say,” Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports wrote.<\/a> “That expanded lineup now includes NBC Sports, Netflix, ESPN, Fox Sports, TBS, and MLB Network.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2014, Votto dressed up as a Canadian Mountie<\/a> to do an interview with MLB Network’s Intentional Talk. <\/p>\n

The 42-year-old has always had a bit of a quirky personality, one that fans have grown to love, which is why he would be an excellent fit for television. <\/p>\n

Votto slashed .294\/.409\/.511 with 356 home runs in his 17-year career with Cincinnati. He won the National League MVP award in 2012 and was a six-time All-Star. <\/p>\n

We haven’t seen or heard much from Votto since he retired, but it sounds like that could be changing relatively soon. <\/p>\n
