Overview

• With roughly six weeks until July 31, Chicago officially listed Robert as their top trade chip in pursuit of a roster rebuild.
• Robert’s early-season slump (.190/.275/.305) has lowered his market value, though he is slashing .265/.324/.412 since June 6.
• The Padres and Mets lead the list of suitors, while the Yankees, Phillies and Mariners have also shown interest in his defensive skills and speed.
• At $15 million this season with club options through 2027, Robert’s affordable contract adds appeal for contenders seeking low-risk outfield depth.
• General manager Chris Getz must balance Robert’s fluctuating stock against the need to acquire high-end prospects before the deadline.
