Robert got like 8 hits and people are suddenly being picky about the return of arguably the worst hitter in the sport over the past 2 calendar years. The player being discussed is a slow, RH hitting 1B / DH who is currently posting -0.4 fWAR and currently has a lower xwOBA than the player you just called the “worst hitter in the sport over the past 2 calendar year”.

One guy is a power guy, the other guy is a guy who’s eye is supposed to be his best asset.

July 29, 2025Jul 29 Would anyone be upset if they held onto Robert and pick up his option as opposed to trading him for a garbage return? Edited July 29, 2025Jul 29 by Rey21

If the packages are as bad as rumors suggest, let’s see if he can carry this momentum the final two months.
