Walt Jocketty laughed off a report by ESPN'S Peter Gammons that the Reds could possibly trade Aaron Harang. Gammons wrote:
The Reds have let teams know that they will wait and see whether they need to move Aaron Harang during the season. Harang is scheduled to make $12.5 million next season and $12.75 million with a $2 million buyout for 2011. After going 34-23 with a 3.68 ERA from the start of the 2006 season until he made his four-inning relief stint on two days' rest on May 15, 2008, he went 4-11, 5.88. "Aaron's been OK this spring, because he battles so hard," one scout said. "But the life on the ball he runs in on left-handed batters isn't the same."
"I'm not going to comment on something when he doesn't know what he's talking about," Jocketty said.
Assistant GM Bob Miller added, "Did he give a date and name the teams?"
