The trade buzz surrounding the Cincinnati Reds and Luis Robert Jr. is real. Before the Christmas holiday, the Cincinnati Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer reported that the Reds were in talks with the Chicago White Sox and a deal for the former All-Star could come to fruition in the coming days or weeks.
Robert has superstar potential, but his injury history and lack of production the past two seasons raises some serious questions about whether or not he'd be the right fit for a Reds roster that's starved for a middle-of-the-order bat.
There's another trade option, however, and the player in question has actually had success in Cincinnati.
