Mets predicted to bring polarizing $15 million outfielder to New York
Briefly

The New York Mets are exploring options for center field help as Jose Siri's return remains uncertain. Tyrone Taylor serves as a fourth outfielder but is not ideal as a starter. A notable target is Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox, who has struggled over the past two years. Despite his inconsistent performance, hope exists for his resurgence if traded. Comments suggest the Mets, with financial capacity, may take a chance on Robert, who has potential upside despite disappointing stats, highlighted by his strong defense and base-stealing ability.
Luis Robert Jr. has been mired in a two-year slump. Once an All-Star and one of the hottest names on the trade rumor mill, the hype has almost entirely died down.
If you're the Mets, I don't want to compare it to Javier Báez, but Javy went to the Mets and kicked into gear for a couple months.
...Robert's stats, except for the fact that he's been stealing bases and playing good defense. A .190/.275/.325 line from a 27-year-old is shocking.
If it clicks, it's one of the coolest things ever, and it's the outfielder you guys have been looking for.
