The Philadelphia Phillies have been aware of their need for outfield assistance for a few seasons and appear ready to make a significant move as the trade deadline approaches. Reports indicate they are interested in acquiring Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox, who may look to trade him despite his impressive abilities. While Robert's recent performances show improvement, his overall season stats and significant contract obligations raise doubts about his value. This situation places the Phillies in a potential bidding scenario with the New York Mets, emphasizing their considerations regarding trade packages.
According to a recent report from Bob Nightengale, the Phillies are keeping close tabs on Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox.
The likelihood of Robert being traded barring an injury? Just about 100%. The White Sox don't want him. They don't need him.
He has played better of late with a .703 OPS the last two weeks, leads the league with 22 stolen bases and plays a terrific center field.
If the Phillies and Mets get into a bidding war, depending on what the Phillies would want to give up, there's no reason for them to lose in a trade package.
