Overview
- Luis Robert Jr. is batting .186/.281/.308 with a .589 OPS, five home runs, and 17 RBIs through 44 games in 2025, well below his career averages.
- Despite his struggles at the plate, Robert remains a Gold Glove-caliber center fielder and leads the majors with 17 stolen bases this season.
- Robert candidly admitted that his current performance makes him an unlikely trade target, saying, 'I don't think anybody is going to take a chance on me.'
- White Sox manager Will Venable has publicly supported Robert, emphasizing the player's effort to make adjustments and regain confidence at the plate.
- With two $20 million club options for 2026 and 2027, Robert’s team-friendly contract could still attract interest if his performance improves before the July 31 trade deadline.
