Phillies Get Mets Update on All-Star Outfield Target Luis Robert Jr.
Briefly

The Philadelphia Phillies are considering a trade for Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox as the trade deadline approaches. Multiple teams, including the Phillies, Dodgers, and Mets, are interested in Robert, who has struggled this season. To acquire him, the Phillies will likely need to offer a significant package. Robert has a disappointing .189 batting average and 67 OPS+ with just nine home runs in 264 at-bats this season, suggesting he may perform better as a complementary player on a different team.
"Eight teams have checked in on talented but struggling CF Luis Robert Jr., and if the White Sox can trade him before confronting that $20M option decision, they need to do it."
"The Phillies, Dodgers, Padres, Royals and Mets look like potential fits. Some believe he'd regain form as a complementary player elsewhere."
