According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports, the Reds are “intrigued” by Roy Oswalt. However, Rosenthal says it’s “difficult” to imagine them being a serious player”. They already are over budget and Oswalt may not want to pitch at hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark.

Rosenthal adds that the Mets figure to be an even less serious contender for Oswalt despite ESPN broadcasters suggsting it as a realistic possbility.
