It’s a special Christmas Eve double episode on Chatterbox Reds! Cincinnati Enquirer reporter Gordon Wittenmyer joined The Stone Shields Show and shared notable insight into the ongoing Luis Robert trade rumors involving the Cincinnati Reds. Nick Kirby then joined Off The Bench to further break down what the rumors mean, how real the interest is, and what a potential deal could look like moving forward.

Key points from Wittenmyer on Luis Robert include:

The Reds made an offer for Robert earlier this offseason, but the White Sox countered by asking for an additional player

A source said a deal “could be done as soon as this week, if it gets done”

Wittenmyer believes discussions between the two sides are serious and ongoing

The White Sox are motivated to include cash in a deal, potentially covering part of Robert’s $20 million salary in 2026
