Luis Robert Jr., at 27, stands as the lone player from the White Sox's brief competitive period, as the team suffers through difficult seasons including a record 121-loss campaign. Despite health challenges and a rough recent performance, Robert is seen as a potential top trade candidate for 2025 due to his elite skill set, particularly impressive bat speed and slugging percentage. Executives remain interested, with the White Sox hopeful he can return to form and elevate his value in the market.
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 expect him to perform at a very high level.
His bat speed (93rd percentile in 2025, per Statcast) is elite. His career slugging percentage when putting the ball in play is .661.
