One of the Cincinnati Reds' long sought-after trade targets came off the board on Tuesday night after the Chicago White Sox sent outfielder Luis Robert Jr. to the New York Mets in exchange for Luisangel Acuña and pitcher Truman Pauley. Cincinnati will now have to go back to the drawing board in order to find a capable outfield bat, and the Los Angeles Dodgers may be willing to oblige.
The Dodgers agreed to a four-year, $240 million deal with outfielder Kyle Tucker last week, but the contract has yet to be finalized. Before Tucker signs on the dotted line, Los Angeles must jettison at least one player from their 40-man roster in order to make room for the four-time All-Star.
