The New York Mets are reportedly interested in bolstering their outfield by considering a trade for All-Star Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox. While recent inquiries have been made, MLB insider Jon Heyman suggested that the Mets' current interest may not be urgent or significant. Robert, who is under contract through 2027, offers potential upside with his impressive speed and power capabilities. Although he has struggled with a .186 batting average this season, his increasing performance could make him a valuable asset as playoff aspirations grow closer to reality.
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.
Regarding recent rumors, there's nothing hot at the moment with the Mets and Luis Robert. They've checked on him in the past. CF isn't a necessity but a potential area of interest down the road.
Robert has just a .186 batting average, but is starting to swing the bat well. His 15 stolen bases lead the American League and he is slashing .265/.357/.469 since April 25.
At his best, he has 40 home run potential and could be the final piece for the Mets as they look to make it to the World Series.
