Nobody would. It's the same arguments we'll be hearing about prospects at 2026 trade deadline if Murakami has 25 homers, .260 average and 900+ ops. Why trade him and piss off the fans? Same reason the Tigers are going to trade Skubal for a boatload of prospects...they would never give $400 million or even $200-$250 million to a pitcher 30 and over when they could get 4 of the Dodgers Top Ten prospects and Sheehan while absorbing the much lesser Glasnow contract.

If this guy is correct that the return would be larger than industry expectations, I wonder what that would look like in terms of offers from CIN, NYM and PIT?

Would anybody want any of those 3 instead of Robert Jr?

Hill/Pereira/Bleday

Actually, up to $14.5 million for Fairbanks' 2026 if you include the Rays' buyout and $500,000 additionally in the likely event the Marlins are eliminated and trade him at the deadline.

Took Cooper's spot. Or Boston's.

It doesn't matter.

Starring Chris Getz as Jerry's snitch, ironically enough.

If he were making $5M, it would be easier to deal him. If they flat out just didn’t want to pay him, they wouldn’t have picked up the option.

God I hope it is. Give me one of the starters talked about, the comp pick and an OF prospect. Prob an overpay for how he’s currently viewed but I want it lol

I can't help but wonder, if Robert Jr gets traded, who plays center for the team? Are they trading him because he's making $20 million dollars? If he was making $5 million dollars would he still be traded?

KW/Hahn actively agitated their clubhouses. Spies, and all.

Hahn/Haber/Hostetler did it. HHH. Or LaRussa?

For Pivetta and Mason Miller lol.

Weird. I saw a report just today that said they would consider making those guys available. Not for Robert, specifically, but more generally, to fill holes.

People mock the notion of Getz focusing on an orderly clubhouse like it's a waste of brain cells, or not needed because that one team who won, none of the players liked each other.

The Giants just signed Sergio Santos. Maybe he's their reclamation project.

They should slip all these guys a couple of hundred and have them send back scouting reports on everybody. Asia covered.

“Shipping Brandon Nimmo to Texas created so much attention around the opening in left field that it's easy to forget that the Mets have needed a legitimate starting center fielder for over a year now…Sure, he could always just throw Steve Cohen's money at Kyle Tucker. If that's off the table, though, why not Robert? There really isn't anyone else available (aside from Tucker) with his upside, and his excellent defense in center would allow Benge to shine in a corner and give New York quality gloves alongside Juan Soto. Plus, the Mets have exactly the pitching depth that Chicago reportedly covets,” Landers wrote. yahoosports.com Except they won't trade Teng or Sproat for Robert even if the White Sox wrote a $20 million check...

Michael Baumann evaluates what kind of player McNeil still is and how he fits in the Athletics lineup as McNeil as the “Metsodous” continues. (Damn. I wish I’d thought of that word first.) Ken Rosenthal looks at where the Mets go next and how a toxic clubhouse seems to be driving these moves. (The Athletic sub. req.) Plus other MLB notes. “What they’ve done tells you how big a s— show their clubhouse was,” said one rival executive who was granted anonymity for his candor. “The guessing is over. It was a disaster.” Anthony DiComo writes about where the Mets might go from here. Lex Pryor writes that the Mets are seemingly adrift without a plan at the moment. Mets currently searching for someone better than Mark Vientos...Bregman or Okamoto fit here, maybe Willi Castro or Luis Rengifo? Moncada nah. Also, Stearns is going to have to assess the impacts positively and negatively of adding Robert Jr., into that mix with both Soto and Lindor at odds.

Everyone pretty much knew Danks was completely shot after that injury. Benintendi can still play everyday, just not that well. And the White Sox didn't have significant debt back then, either. (Leury Hendriks Keuchel all parts of that debt picture.)

He's really the only speedy player the Sox have after Robert. (Not going to count Hill yet.)

There’s been a few exceptions other than Leury. Keppinger and Danks come immediately to mind, but there’s others I know I’m not mentioning.
