The White Sox are facing challenges in trading center fielder Luis Robert Jr. due to his underperformance in 2024, where he played only 100 games and achieved a career-low offensive output. Despite his significant talent and contract through 2027, trade discussions with teams like the Giants and Reds have stalled, especially regarding the White Sox's willingness to cover part of Robert's salary. The team may not trade him before spring training, indicating a potential wait-and-see approach for Robert's recovery and performance next season.
At his best, Luis Robert Jr. is a five-tool, MVP-caliber talent, but his 2024 season has raised concerns about his health and trade value.
The White Sox are reluctant to sell low on Robert, having stripped the roster of veterans and facing trade difficulties with the Reds and Giants.
