The Los Angeles Dodgers lead the National League despite a recent seven-game losing streak and have a 5 1/2-game advantage over the San Diego Padres in the NL West. As the trade deadline nears, the Dodgers are seeking outfield assistance, with Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox emerging as a potential trade target. Robert is struggling this season and hitting .190 with nine home runs. However, a change of scenery in a competitive environment could be beneficial for him. The Dodgers aim to strengthen their roster for another World Series run.
Eight teams have checked in on talented but struggling CF Luis Robert Jr., and if the White Sox can trade him before confronting that $20 million option decision, they need to do it. The Phillies, Dodgers, Padres, Royals and Mets look like potential fits.
Robert is having a difficult season this year with the South Siders. The former All-Star, who is a free agent at the end of the season, is hitting .190/.275/.325 with nine home runs, 35 RBI and a .599 OPS.
A change of scenery could be just what Robert needs. The White Sox are well out of postseason contention, while the Dodgers are in the thick of the race.
Having Robert in the mix could enhance their chances. The defending World Series champions look prepared to make another run to the Fall Classic this coming October.
