Overview

  • The White Sox, mired in a 23-50 start, are prioritizing long-term rebuilding by trading their veteran center fielder for top prospects.
  • Robert’s bat has stalled since mid-2024, with his average hovering around .190 this season while he continues to contribute with speed and defense.
  • Chris Getz has declined earlier proposals, including a deal from the Reds, and is seeking premium minor league talent in any Robert trade.
  • Teams such as the Mets, Padres, Yankees, Phillies and Mariners are vying for Robert’s services ahead of the July 31 deadline.
  • Recent hot stretches at the plate have reignited interest in Robert, offering hope that his trade value could rebound before teams finalize deals.
