So in this case I probably would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board and most Sox fans would have exploded with fury if he traded Robert for a Mullins-like return. That likely is what Robert's value is... People need to take a big step back if they think 2023 Robert is coming back (he isn't). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything short of a Juan Soto return is "failure". People are already dropping markers that not trading him in 2023 was a failure, not moving multiple players today is a failure, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Robert ain’t getting traded - let’s close this thread. While it may be the right move if they are willing to pick up the option, it will be super annoying hearing Getz’s GM speak on the matter.

People need to take a big step back if they think 2023 Robert is coming back (he isn't). It might be his value in this market. The Bader and Mullins trades set the market for outfielders at the deadline. He’s more valuable than those returns, as are Bader and Mullins.

The option is picked up 2. Robert stays healthy 3. Robert stays productive 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to take a big step back if they think 2023 Robert is coming back (he isn't). Even if so, he's still an elite defensive CF who has crushed lefties even when struggling overall and has a near 1.000 OPS over the last month (and over .800 the last ~two). He's better and younger than Mullins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 29 minutes ago, T R U said: No one said its zero, but valuable players get traded. Other teams discussed trades for Robert with the White Sox and declined to meet the White Sox asking price. Not because he will cost 20M next year, but because he hasn't been very good for the last two seasons. I am aware if the Sox wanted to move him no matter what, they could have. Other teams look at the price and the ask, and politely declined. It could be that the White Sox value Robert more than the league does and that has nothing to do with Roberts actual perceived value being low. Valuable players only get traded when another team agrees with the owning team on the given players value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 32 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Of course, but I don't personally trust Getz to find equal value for these assets, so I'd rather keep the known pieces that are here and hope the rest fills in around it and maybe they spend some money and/or hit on some drafts for once. If Robert's value is really suppressed, I know I wouldn't personally move him because I find his true talent point to be higher. I also understand moving him given his performance so I wasn't going to be too critical of a return barring something that looked like a salary dump. I agree with another posts take that Robert needs lineup protection to excel -- it's something I've come to consider over the last 15 months. He's a mistake hitter who can be taken advantage of when he's worked around, but when you have to go after him he's much more successful. Either way, that catch and jump he got the other night in the right center gap was what makes him so good and fun regardless. Whatever it is Luis Robert needs to succeed, we don't seem to have it for him here. Why we need to bet on this AGAIN is beyond me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwill Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) Just want to say I love watching Luis Robert Jr. He is just a fun player. And the white sox are finally having other players who are fun. From just a watching standpoint, he helps me watch a white sox game. They still suck but its more of a fun suck. f*** you Jerry.
