Fantasy Impact

Robert had been in the middle of trade rumors dating back to last season. He now lands a fresh start with the Mets where he'll likely slide next to Juan Soto in the outfield. The Mets had been interested in Cody Bellinger. This could open up the door for the Yankees to bring him back.

Following the signing of Munetaka Murakami, the Chicago White Sox are still engaged in trade talks to move CF Luis Robert Jr. According to Bob Nightengale, the White Sox are in discussions with the New York Mets and the Cincinnati Reds and would be looking for pitching in return.

Fantasy Impact

The 28-year-old Robert continues to be at the center of a number of trade rumors this offseason with the Mets and Reds the frontrunners at the moment. Robert has had trouble staying healthy throughout his six-year career. He flashed his potential during the 2023 campaign when he batted .264 with 38 home runs and 20 stolen bases, finishing 12th in the AL MVP race. However, in his last two years combined, he has totaled 28 home runs and just a .223 batting average in 210 games. A change of scenery might be what Robert needs to turn his career around and, if the White Sox can acquire some pitching help in return, Chicago could be an interesting team to watch in 2026.
