Luis Robert Jr. is a hot topic on the trade market, as the White Sox face a deadline. They have received aggressive offers but are seeking better prospects. Robert is in the final year of his contract with a $20 million club option for next year. While the Sox have low payroll obligations, Robert's injuries and performance history complicate the decision. His season batting average is low, but he has shown recent improvement, given his performance after recent adjustments.
Robert's appeal on the market is up a bit, relative to earlier this year. His overall season is still bad, sitting at .206/.292/.344, yet he has found a groove.
The White Sox held out for a better prospect package during aggressive attempts made by two clubs to acquire Robert last week, keeping him in trade limbo.
