Juan Soto of the New York Mets has expressed admiration for Chicago White Sox's Luis Robert Jr., deeming him one of the most talented players he has encountered. After working out with Robert during the winter, Soto was impressed by Robert's strength and skill, despite his current low batting average of .163. With the White Sox's recent struggles and history of poor seasons, Robert is seen as a likely trade candidate. The Mets, contenders this season, could potentially acquire Robert, especially amidst interest from other teams like the Dodgers.
Tremendous baseball player and tremendous athlete. He showed me a lot of his abilities that I didn't know he had. That guy has tremendous strength, tremendous power.
A player like Luis Robert always gets a lot of attention. We're really happy where he's at, and how he approached spring training and how he's performing.
The White Sox have suffered through back-to-back 100 loss seasons, and it feels like Robert is heading for the exits.
The Mets are also a contender. Soto and infielder Pete Alonso are both hitting well for New York, who have a clear goal to reach the World Series.
