Uh…because he didn’t?

And according to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic, his agent, Scott Boras, called Reds’ owner Bob Castellini directly.

“I called Bob personally and said, ‘Hey, we have a player here who performs at All-Star levels in your market and I just want you to know our ears are open. Before I do anything, let me know,’” Boras said, per The Athletic. “We had a great conversation. And he said, ‘You know, we’re going to go through this and look at it. We’re trying to take a strategy of improving our defense and we’re trying to optimize getting our younger pitching talent to the big leagues.’”
