Luis Robert Jr., a once-promising player for the Chicago White Sox, doubts his trade value ahead of the MLB's trade deadline. Currently struggling with a .183 batting average this season and facing a declining trajectory since his All-Star campaign in 2023, Robert acknowledges that teams may hesitate to acquire him. His peak performance, including a Silver Slugger award and strong playoff contributions, highlights the contrast to his underwhelming stats this year. The White Sox missed an opportunity to trade Robert when he was at his peak as the team now faces rebuilding challenges.
"Right now as my season is going, I don't think anyone is going to take a chance on me," Robert told Merkin.
Robert is slashing a paltry .183/.281/.308 this season with five home runs and 17 RBI.
In hindsight, that was the time for the White Sox to trade Robert.
The White Sox finished 81-81 in 2023 and fell to 61-101 during Robert's All-Star campaign.
