  "account": "During an interview, former Cincinnati Reds star Joey Votto revealed he would trade Elly De La Cruz for a number of prospects if given the opportunity as the team's general manager. De La Cruz, who is expected to earn between $350 million and $600 million over the course of seven years, is valued by Votto as a leader, talented player with five tools. However, Votto contends that trading away such a significant portion of the payroll for one player doesn't make financial sense. He also suggests that teams should have traded away top players like himself at earlier stages of their careers. Votto shared a personal anecdote about a clock he received, representing a gift from an earlier period in his career. Back in October, Votto responded to a critical tweet from baseball hall of famer Barry Larkin, by retweeting Larkin's emoji.",
