Walt Jocketty doesn't think the Cincinnati Reds are that far away from contending and is planning to "retool" this winter.

The Reds traded away pitchers Mike Leake and Johnny Cueto at the July deadline to help build for the future.

"This was the time you kind of step back and rebuild it a little ... not rebuild, but retool," Jocketty said. "We're not that far away."

Jocketty says Cincinnati will look to add at least one veteran pitcher this offseason and perhaps more.
