Robert just seems like a salary dump at this point. He needs to be on pace for a 2.5 war season just to get serious offers at the deadline so the 20m team options make sense. Or they would play him at 2B moving Edman to the OF
April 16, 2025Apr 16 2 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: His 2021 season was driven by a super high walk rate, which really has nothing to do with his power. I mean I don’t really care how he gets there (walks, defense, whatever) but I don’t see Robert having another 3.7+ fWAR season with the Sox.

If we're moving Robert to LAD, I'd like to grab one of those mid top 30 SP prospects like Ryan, Fraso, Bruns, Hurt, Knack, Grove, etc. Half those guys are hurt so LAD might be willing to let one go. if Robert doesn't get it together, no way would the Dodgers include De Paula

Lame as hell… Edited April 16, 2025Apr 16 by WhiteSox2023

April 16, 2025Apr 16 Is it possible this rumor was floated to see if the Reds will get off their ass?
April 16, 2025Apr 16 With how Robert looked last year and has looked so far this year a team would be nuts to give up anything more than a lottery ticket for him.

Don’t worry, his advanced metrics look great. He can run very fast and swing really hard. That’s gotta be worth something right? Edited April 16, 2025Apr 16 by JUSTgottaBELIEVE

Yes, it is. You should rewatch Bull Durham. Just one more hit a week is the difference between a .250 hitter to a .300 hitter. One Texas-leaguer. One beat out infield single. One short hop, ball off the pitcher's leg, one ball in the lights. Fifty points.

The discussion we would be having in that case would be what top prospects we had or would attain for him rather than whether the Sox end up eating his buyout or get something like Outman and a lotto ticket

It would be drowned out by kvetching over Chris Getz failing because Robert was "only" hitting .250, and how Chris Getz would fail if he didn't get 3 top 30 prospects from the receiving team.

How can you act so surprised that people are frustrated with Getz?
