Why the Mets should avoid disastrous trade for White Sox outfielder
Briefly

Jose Siri's tibia fracture significantly impacted the New York Mets, depriving them of a strong defensive outfielder expected to contribute to both defense and offense. With Siri out for weeks, the team turned to Tyrone Taylor for defense and Jeff McNeil for versatility in center field. Despite their contributions, the Mets feel a notable gap in their lineup. High expectations lead to trade speculation, particularly about Luis Robert Jr., whose recent struggles and high price tag raise red flags about pursuing him for the team's future.
It's easy to get enamored with a name like Luis Robert Jr. The highlight reels, the raw power, the athleticism - they all scream superstar.
Making a push for Robert at this point would be like buying a luxury sports car that's leaking oil and grinding its gears.
The White Sox won't give him up for spare parts, either. They'll want premium prospects in return - the kind of prospects the Mets should be hanging onto tightly.
