MISCELLANY

Former Cincinnati Reds manager Pete Rose is cooperating with a federal investigation into his income taxes in hopes of avoiding a prison term, a newspaper reported.

The Cincinnati Post reported that prosecutors are considering filing charges of failing to report income rather than income tax evasion in exchange for Rose's cooperation.

A grand jury has been looking into Rose's taxes for the past year, examining evidence that he may have failed to report income from racetrack winnings and baseball memorabilia shows.
