The New York Mets are reportedly interested in acquiring All-Star center fielder Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox as the trade deadline approaches. While inquiries have been made, MLB insider Jon Heyman suggests the Mets' pursuit may be exaggerated, noting no urgent negotiations are taking place. Robert is under contract until 2027 and could enhance the Mets' outfield, particularly given concerns about their current center fielder Tyrone Taylor's performance. Despite Robert's low batting average early on, he has shown recent improvement in performance, indicating potential for a significant impact.
"The Chicago White Sox finally are starting to get some inquiries on center fielder Luis Robert with the New York Mets recently among the teams checking in and showing interest," wrote Nightengale.
"Regarding recent rumors, there's nothing hot at the moment with the Mets and Luis Robert," Heyman wrote on X. "They've checked on him in the past. CF isn't a necessity but a potential area of interest down the road."
