If the Reds package is accurate, it is very Frozen in that it is totally Fixer Uppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted December 23, 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2025 If they trade Robert, who the heck is their entire OF? Suddenly they’re counting on Baldwin to anchor an incredibly poor group. Do you really want to Hill and Pereira every day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. You'd get the same type of return at the deadline anyways. He's not even close to blocking anyone yet you're trading him for the sake of trading him. Any protection and stabilization he can offer to the younger players is worth more than these names. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 23, 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2025 Not a single one of those pitchers seems very interesting to me at all. Why would we give the Reds $10M and a real live MLB player for even all three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading an outfielder when you already have the weakest outfield group in mlb seems insane. Braden Montgomery has to be thrilled, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted December 23, 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2025 (edited) If the Sox think any of these guys are worth it, and can get a comp pick in the deal, then do it. Otherwise don’t trade him for players you don’t think will have any impact just to get rid of him. Edited December 23, 2025 by almagest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
