The Philadelphia Phillies are interested in acquiring Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox, but recent reports indicate competition from the New York Mets. Jon Heyman states the Mets have shown past interest but are currently not pursuing Robert due to his poor performance, hitting just .179. As trade speculation surrounds Robert, the Phillies must prepare a strong package if they wish to secure him, especially with the Mets needing an outfielder and possibly willing to engage in negotiations more readily than the Phillies.
The rumor is that the Mets have some interest [in Robert Jr.]. I'll say this: The Mets have checked in in the past on Luis Robert... But right now, he's hitting .179, so there is nothing hot going on with Luis Robert.
I didn't even have to make a call to know that. But I did make a call, and I was told there's nothing hot going on with Luis Robert.
He's got to get hotter before anything heats up on the trade front... I do think [the Mets] can live with defense in center.
If the Phillies want Robert, they'll have to send a decent package to the White Sox at the deadline.
