  "account": "During an interview, former Cincinnati Reds star Joey Votto was asked about his priorities if he were to become the team's general manager. Votto stated that his top priority would be to trade Elly De La Cruz for as many prospects as possible. He explained that Elly is set to earn a substantial salary, potentially as much as $650 million over seven years or $350 million per year, which Votto finds difficult to justify. Votto, who played alongside Elly in the minor leagues, praised the player's talent, leadership, and potential for continued growth, but still believes the contract terms are unreasonable.",
