The Cincinnati Reds struggled in the 2024 season, ending with 77 wins and a lackluster offense. Despite financial limitations preventing them from targeting high-profile free agents, they made moves to bolster their roster with outfielder Austin Hays and two pitchers. Discussions with the Chicago White Sox regarding a trade for Luis Robert Jr. surfaced, with the Reds considering infield prospect Edwin Arroyo. However, doubts about the overall financial cost hindered agreement on the deal, leaving the Reds' chances to improve their outfield and contention in the NL Central intact while the White Sox focus on a full roster rebuild.
The Reds and White Sox were in trade discussions about Luis Robert Jr., but ultimately, the Reds could not get comfortable with the total cost.
Robert's value is the highest now, making the case strong for the White Sox to trade him this year before options for 2026 and 2027 come into play.
