Luis Robert Jr., at only 27, remains the sole player from the White Sox's previous competitive phase, an era now overshadowed by two consecutive 100-loss seasons. Despite struggling in prior seasons, Robert's potential keeps him a focal point in trade discussions. Executives regard him highly given his elite performance metrics like bat speed and slugging percentage. White Sox GM Chris Getz has confidence in Robert's abilities as he attempts to reclaim form, indicating he could be the most sought-after trade candidate during the 2025 season.
At 27, Luis Robert Jr. is already a relic of sorts, the last remaining player from the White Sox's all-too-brief era of contention.
If Robert was playing up to his potential, he wouldn't be around, either. And if he regains his mojo, he's as good as gone.
"A player like Luis Robert always gets a lot of attention. We're really happy where he's at, and how he approached spring training and how he's performing."
His bat speed (93rd percentile in 2025, per Statcast) is elite. He's slotting in the 89th percentile among all hitters with a .661 slugging percentage.
