The New York Mets are struggling and need to improve their center field position. They have been performing mediocrely and currently sit just behind the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East standings. Tyrone Taylor's performance has been lacking, and Jose Siri is out for the season. Reports suggest that the Mets might pursue Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox, despite his poor performance this season, which includes a .190 batting average. The Mets could potentially leverage Robert's contract situation to take a chance on his recovery.
Luis Robert Jr. has been one of the worst hitters in baseball this season, entering the ASB with a .190 batting average and a .599 OPS. Unfortunately for the Chicago White Sox, it means they'll get very little for the former All-Star outfielder at the MLB trade deadline.
This season, Mets' center fielders have posted a disastrous .225/.298/.365 triple-slash line. New York can eat the remainder of Robert's contract, less than $10 million total, in exchange for taking a chance on a change of scenery.
