The Philadelphia Phillies have seen improvement in their outfield, particularly with Brandon Marsh's performance. However, insider Bob Nightengale reported that Phillies' president Dave Dombrowski is considering significant changes, linking the team's trade deadline plans to White Sox player Luis Robert Jr. The report suggests a high likelihood of Robert being traded due to the White Sox's lack of interest. Despite Robert's current struggles, his potential upside and strong defensive skills are appealing to the Phillies as they monitor his status and health.
The likelihood of Robert being traded barring an injury? Just about 100%. The White Sox don't want him. They don't need him. They know they should have traded him during the winter.
As it stands today, Robert's numbers aren't outperforming any Phillies' outfielder. However, his ceiling is much higher, and his Gold Glove defense would offer a vast improvement over the others.
