Luis Robert Jr. is struggling this season, batting .206 with 10 home runs and an OPS of .636. Despite trade rumors, the Chicago White Sox may consider retaining him by picking up his contract option. Recent media speculation suggests that they might opt for a bounceback year in 2026. Chris Getz has received trade offers for Robert but has rebuffed them, possibly setting a high asking price. After returning from injury, Robert is on a nine-game hitting streak, prompting discussions about his future with the team.
Luis Robert Jr. is batting .206 with 10 home runs and an OPS of .636. With only two expensive option years left on his contract, the White Sox appeared poised to trade him.
Buster Olney of ESPN predicted that Luis Robert would not be traded ahead of the July 31st deadline and that the White Sox would opt to pick up the option on his contract.
Chris Getz has rebuffed every offer he's received for Robert so far, and it's possible that nobody ever meets his lofty asking price as his performance improves.
Robert is currently riding a nine-game hit streak and has looked like a new player since coming back from his 10-day IL stint.
