Overview

• General manager Chris Getz told reporters he expects Luis Robert Jr. to be part of the White Sox moving forward, a stance multiple outlets interpret as favoring an option pickup.
• Luis Robert Jr. is effectively done for 2025 with a left hamstring strain, locking in a .223/.297/.364 line with 14 home runs over 110 games.
• Robert’s contract includes a $20 million club option for 2026 with a $2 million buyout, and teams must decide within five days after the World Series.
• Despite underwhelming overall numbers, Robert showed gains with 33 steals (33-for-41), a +7 Fielding Run Value, a reduced 26% strikeout rate, and a career‑high 9.8% walk rate.
• Chicago’s 95-loss season frames the decision as a calculated bet on rebound value, though his injury history raises clear risk to both on-field impact and potential trade return.
