Why Luis Robert Jr. could be MLB trade deadline's most sought-after slugger
Briefly

Luis Robert Jr., at 27, remains the last player from the Chicago White Sox's brief period of success amid a prolonged slump marked by consecutive 100-loss seasons. Following their playoff exit in 2021, Robert’s potential has been stunted by injuries. Despite a disappointing 2024 and shaky start to the current season, his elite skills keep him as a prime trade target as executives express continued interest. His significant talent, highlighted by impressive metrics, suggests he could excel should he return to form, potentially making him too valuable for the struggling Sox to keep.
If Robert was playing up to his potential, he wouldn't be around, either. And if he regains his mojo, he's as good as gone.
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.
