Luis Robert Jr., despite being a 2023 All-Star, is facing challenges that have hurt his trade value as the White Sox undergo a rebuild. His recent performance has fallen short, with a batting average of just .186 and a concerning strikeout rate. Acknowledging his struggles, Robert expressed doubt about teams taking a chance on him. He remains a strong defensive player and leads the league in stolen bases, but with a high asking price and a sizable salary, his future on the team seems uncertain as the trade deadline approaches.
Right now, as my season is going, I don't think anybody is going to take a chance on me.
The Sox owe Robert what remains of his $15MM salary. He's controlled via $20MM club options for another two seasons.
Robert remains a capable defensive center fielder and leads MLB with 17 stolen bases.
It has felt like a matter of time before the 2023 All-Star would head elsewhere.
