February 12, 20251 yr Pirates are not the team you deal with here...it needs to be one of those Big 12 large market teams that can both absorb bigger contracts and also simultaneously afford to sacrifice promising position prospects. Like the Dodgers. Or Mets.

But could we please accrue some outfielders rather than a plethora of 2B who probably can't play SS or if they can play SS can't hit much better than Esteban Beltre or Mike Caruso?
February 13, 20251 yr Sounds like Sox were asking for a couple of Arroyo, Burns, Lowder from the Reds

February 14, 20251 yr In addition to a solid .657 ops last year Robert is like having an extra coach on the field.

Robert still 33rd in bat speed...Jo Adell really stands out here among the top group. Pham Sheets DeJong with good numbers...L.Sosa the highest ranked of the remaining players on the team.

February 18, 20251 yr “This is my team right now, I’m just getting ready to fight for this team,” Robert said via interpreter. “It has been my team throughout my whole professional career in the US, right? I think it would be beautiful to have experienced playing for just one team, the team that gave me the opportunity to make my dream come true and the team that I’m trying to help past this moment and hopefully play for this team when we are ready to compete. I think that would be a really beautiful story. But like I said before, that’s something I can’t control.” https://soxmachine.com/2025/02/white-sox-hold-first-full-squad-workout-for-a-team-thats-not-close-to-complete/ Edited February 18, 20251 yr by caulfield12

I’m sure they’d happily take Luis Robert over Austin Hays tonight, tomorrow, next month, in July. I don’t think talks are completely off the table with them, they still need a big move for Francona to really have a shot at the playoffs
February 26, 20251 yr Teams having spring training in Arizona have been encouraged by what they’ve seen from Luis Robert through his very limited sample size. White Sox are reporting to interested teams that he is fully healthy and has no limitations. A continuing story to watch in Glendale. — Bartolo's Colonoscopy (@lakeview487) February 26, 2025
