Cincinnati Reds Reportedly Targeting White Sox Star Luis Robert in Trade
Description
Nick Kirby breaks down the latest trade rumors linking the Cincinnati Reds to White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr.
According to Bob Nightengale, Chicago is engaged in talks with both the Reds and Mets as they look to move Robert for pitching depth. Nick examines why the White Sox are exploring a trade now, despite exercising Robert’s $20 million option for 2026, and what their true motivations may be.
The episode covers Robert’s career arc, contract situation, injury history, and upside, along with potential trade frameworks involving Reds pitchers or top prospects if Chicago is willing to eat salary. Nick also evaluates the risk vs. reward for Cincinnati and whether this gamble makes sense given the Reds’ current roster and payroll constraints.
