The New York Mets are linked to Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr, who is reportedly on the trade block. While Robert's hitting has been subpar this season, there is interest from the Mets due to Robert's past All-Star appearances. However, MLB insiders indicate that trade discussions are not advanced, and the Mets see center field as a potential area of interest rather than a necessity. One significant factor in potential negotiations will be how much of Robert's salary the acquiring team is willing to absorb.
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 is hitting just .186 this season, but he does have five home runs and 15 stolen bases in 37 games.
the White Sox could be hesitant to sell low on a player who once flashed superstar potential.
one of the biggest sticking points during negotiations could be how much money the team that acquires Robert is willing to pay.
