But AI actually learns, and if Nightengale were to read the comments on his posts, he would get better. He seems to somehow get worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see Jerry approving eating this much money… 2026: $16.5M 2027: $14.5M I definitely think they cut him before that final year, but $31M would be a lot of money for Reinsdorf to eat.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 52 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Good god can you please stop with this nonsense? Like your hate for the player borderlines on creepy. The dude is at 0.8 fWAR 2/3 through the season with an xwOBA 40 points higher than his wOBA. Robert’s xwOBA of .326 is equal to Julio Rodriguez’s wOBA who is at 3.2 fWAR on the season. I’d wager large amounts of money that Robert ends up over 2 fWAR this season despite the slow start and that he ends up over 3 fWAR next year if healthy. Honestly, if you think that level of production is easily replaceable, then maybe go check the free agent list and then filter on CF. I’m not sure you’re going to love what you find there. Also, it’s strange how we don’t see constant posts from you on your boy Anthony Santander. How is he doing this year? Just weird that half your posts on this site are you tooting your own horn about Robert being bad, but there is no mention of wanting to give one of the worst players in baseball this year $90M. Funny you think finding 1 win OFers is easy when the you wanted yo hand a near nine figure contract to a guy who can’t even achieve that threshold. I wanted the Sox to trade Robert last winter and sign Santander, Bader, Alonso, and Kim. You’re not going to hit on every free agent signing, I know, but for every bad signing like Santander there’s a good one like Bader or Alonso.

WestEddy Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Luis Robert continues to draw interest on the market, per sources. The White Sox are seeking an MLB guy and two prospects in return for the Cuban outfielder, per industry sources. Phillies, Mets, and possibly the Padres are in the race." — Francys Romero (@francysromeroFR) July 31, 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 "It also means an acquiring team isn't taking on much risk, but could reap a serious reward if Robert snaps back into being the player he was as recently as 2023, when he smashed 38 homers and had an .857 OPS. Still just 27 years old, Robert's potential is immense. And while his offensive ceiling is the most tantalizing part of his game, he's also an elite defensive center fielder." sny.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we don't need 50 different catchers in the system just because Getz has a hard on for the position. If they need CF and power get both. BTV has Clifford at about 9m in SV and Acuna I think was about 6m IIRC They've got Robert at zero but the market doesn't seem to reflect that, if u assign him say 3m, and eat 5m, you are halfway there. Add Eisert and you are basically all the way there. Just fucking get it done already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty funny to toot bader who has expected numbers much worse than robert. The outcome has been better, but much of that is just noise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
