Cincinnati Reds shortstop prospect Edwin Arroyo learned through his agent of trade discussions involving him and the Chicago White Sox for center fielder Luis Robert Jr. The negotiations stalled, primarily over the White Sox's high asking price and unrealistic demands for prospects like Arroyo and elite pitchers. Despite Robert's potential, his injury history and high salary made the trade increasingly complicated. As a result, the Reds are likely to move forward without revisiting the trade, focusing instead on their current roster choices leading into Opening Day.
The White Sox's asking price for Luis Robert Jr. was considered steep and unrealistic, leading to a breakdown in trade talks with the Reds.
Arroyo, the Reds' top position-player prospect, was a significant demand in the trade negotiations for Luis Robert but the White Sox's demands were excessive.
