Overview
- The columns are speculative recommendations by Fansided’s Chris Landers, published by The Sporting News and repackaged by Yahoo Sports.
- Robert is portrayed as a bounce-back candidate after a 2025 line of .223/.297/.364 with 14 home runs in 110 games, carrying All-Star and Gold Glove credentials plus a 2027 club option following one remaining year.
- For Cincinnati, Landers argues Robert would be a major upgrade over T.J. Friedl in center with a power uptick possible at Great American Ball Park.
- For New York, he is pitched as a cost-conscious Cody Bellinger replacement given his defense in center and success versus left-handed pitching.
- For Los Angeles and San Francisco, the pieces propose completing outfield trios with Teoscar Hernandez and Andy Pages or Jung Hoo Lee and Heliot Ramos, potentially leveraging Dodgers pitching depth, with no reporting of active talks or any deal.
