Reds general manager Walt Jocketty has denied a report that the team is listening to offers for first baseman Joey Votto. "I'm tired of talking about it," he said. "We're not shopping him. "We're not entertaining offers. It's frustrating. He's one of the best players in the game. Why would we trade him? I wish people would stop writing about it." Votto is signed through 2013 and his salary in that season ($17 million) is considered steep for a team like the Reds.
