Luis Robert Jr., once a promising player, struggled recently due to injuries, posting disappointing stats. There were expectations of a trade by the deadline but ultimately, no deal was made. Reports indicated that high asking prices and Chris Getz's poor reputation among GMs led to teams losing interest in Robert. An MLB insider stated that the White Sox should have traded him earlier, and now face uncertainty with his future, including potential club options that may not be exercised. The Phillies reportedly declined interest in Robert.
Luis Robert, not trading him is a disaster. You talk to GMs, and they got frustrated dealing with Chris Getz. They kind of stood pat.
They should have traded him in the winter. They had to trade him now. I don't think they can pick up that club option [for 2026].
If anybody thought he was any good, they would have grabbed him. They were begging the Philadelphia Phillies to trade for him, and the Phillies had no interest.
