White Sox's Luis Robert Jr. Reportedly Has Drawn Trade Interest from 8 MLB Teams

White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. has reportedly drawn interest from several MLB teams despite his recent struggles, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.

The Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and New York Mets are among the teams considered strong fits for Robert Jr., as eight clubs have reportedly checked in on the 27-year-old’s availability, per Heyman.

Moving him would help the White Sox, who face a looming $20 million club option, bring in young talent as they build for the future.

The center fielder holds a .190 batting average with nine home runs, 35 RBI and .599 OPS and was recently reinstated from the 10-day injured list from a hamstring injury.

He has been hot in trade talks for a while now, with the most unproductive offensive season of his career by far. With the White Sox struggling, they may look to see what they can get for him rather than potentially lose for nothing this offseason.

Last season, Robert Jr. tallied 14 home runs, 35 RBI and a .224 batting average before injuries derailed his campaign.

He’s making $15 million this year, with about $5 million left to be paid by the trade deadline. His deal also includes a $2 million buyout on a $20 million team option for 2026.
