Jason Isringhausen To Join Reds, Walt Jocketty To Relive 2004 Indefinitely

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Walt Jocketty, erstwhile mastermind behind the 2004 MV3 Cardinals, has offered Jason Isringhausen a chance to pitch with the Reds. 

The Reds offered right-hander Jason Isringhausen a contract after seeing him pitch today at Great American.

"We're waiting to hear back from his agent to see what he wants to do," Walt Jocketty said. "We'll know in next day or so."

Isringhausen was impressive in his session. But he'll need time to get ready.

Isringhausen had elbow surgery last season after making nine appearances for the Tampa Bay Rays.

Some future Cincinnati Reds trade rumors—today!:

• With the emergence of Corey Hart and the Brewers' fall from the top of the NL Central, Jim Edmonds is rumored to be available as the trade deadline draws near.
• Edgar Renteria is hitting .301 with the Giants, but they might be willing to talk deal if the Padres pull further ahead of them. 
• Cal Eldred is severely underutilized on the Fox Sports Midwest pregame show, and could probably be lured back to the mound with a league-minimum deal.
• Larry Walker probably isn't that busy.
