Have to get a legit 60 FV headliner if you move Robert. The true “star potential” prospect would be Monte’s, who would have to be the 2nd piece.

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 A Young and Montes type package would be real hard to decline and I’m on the team of not trading him (yet). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 I will be honest, the Mariners aren't my first choice for a deal like this, because they lack that supertstar top prospect, and I think you need that huge frontliner to start a good deal for Luis Robert. I have no idea what the market for him looks like, but as with Cease, I am also willing to let the market come to us if the market isn't there yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_Kuntz Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The Athletic has a good short piece today on MLB deadline sellers with the White Sox listed as, you guessed it, #1 seller. Mentions Robert but doesn't think there's much chance he'll go. Montes has 60+ potential as a left-handed hitter, 65+ power. Not truly elite overall but this org desperately needs that. He's not a true headliner but packaged with a 55 IF and 50 OF, I'm not sure you're going to do much better in this environment. I still think holding him til 2025 trade deadline is probably the best move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtom Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) All of this trade speculation is great for a discussion, but does anyone really have any faith that Getz will get what Robert is worth? We all know he will get fleeced by the other organization. Edited May 20 by Tomtom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know he will get fleeced by the other organization. What is his real worth? The possibility also exists he asks for way too much only for Robert to get injured again (this year or next). If not for Eloy, people would talk more about this guy's inability to stay on the field. Edited May 20 by Bob Sacamano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Here is why any return will not live up to expectations. He is as injury prone as Eloy.

Was that 2023 ? I remember his play in CF was not very good at the time but his hitting didn't seem to suffer all that much and he put up best season of health and hitting even though you list 6 injuries in 2023.

I know Jim Bowden is frequently off-base but he suggested one "top prospect" (I'm assuming that means Top 100), plus one Top 10 (in a system) plus a few Top 30s (in a system). I know Robert's salaries are gonna start escalating but that would be a garbage return either way. Need to have 3 Top 100s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
