July 31, 2025Jul 31 I may be in the minority but I have no issue with them keeping Luis. They have nothing committed to payroll next year and no one knocking at the door to be an every day CFer. Also, I would consider keeping him through the end of his contract. If they aren’t contending for the division in 2 years with the talent they have already acquired then what was the point of it all. And if the offers are crap why would you move him for the hope that some of the players even make the majors let alone have the defensive and base running ability Luis has.
July 31, 2025Jul 31 I mean, if the return is similar to what the Twins got for Bader I'm holding onto him too.

July 31, 2025Jul 31 I will also note that at the very least, not dealing him over last winter with the Cincy offer looks a lot worse in hindsight. I won't even go back how 2023 looks.

July 31, 2025Jul 31 At some point you have to realize you aren’t getting what you could have gotten for Robert after 2023. Two garbage seasons in a row will do that to a player’s value.
July 31, 2025Jul 31 Pickup the option, pay down most of it for 2026 and dangle him as a guy under contract through rest of this year and next with an option for 2027. #ishbiamoneyinfusion Edited July 31, 2025Jul 31 by Bob Sacamano

Someone mentioned this elsewhere, but if you let him go, are you gonna go pay Bader 14 million next year to play CF? They have nothing in the CF pipeline.
July 31, 2025Jul 31 The only thing that could happen at this deadline to make me think Getz is completely clueless is if Houser isn't moved. I'm not very comfortable holding on to LouBob but the potential upside of trading him seems so small that I can at least see the logic of holding on especially if ownership has signaled comfort with his option.

Hopefully he keeps performing how he has the past few weeks or so and they deal him in the offseason.

Especially if he continues to do what he is doing throughout the 2nd half. It'd be a bargain and a half.

The White Sox simply gambled on the wrong guy. They could have gotten a good haul for Robert this past off-season but they decided to trade Crochet instead. If they held Crochet until deadline and traded Robert, they'd be in an incredible position and would have acquired a lot more prospect capital. Timing is as important to trades as anything else in the process. Edited July 31, 2025Jul 31 by Look at Ray Ray Run
