Reds' GM Walt Jocketty commented on the offseason Saturday, admitting that the team has had trade discussions with the White Sox.

The Reds, major-league sources say, are interested in at least three Rockies — center fielder Willy Taveras, catcher Yorvit Torrealba, and third baseman Garrett Atkins.

The Rockies could spin to other teams two of the three players they are set to acquire for Matt Holliday: closer Huston Street and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez.

Cubs' catcher Geovany Soto was rewarded for his big season Monday as he was named the NL Rookie of the Year,according to a report by Yahoo.
