Luis Roberts asking price is astronomical.

White Sox were asking for a ridiculous return for him last year as well based on his 2023 performance. He hit .224 with an OPS+ of 85 in 2024, and currently he's at .185 with an OPS+ of 64. I'm not sure why that would even get a mid-level prospect in return.
