Guy’s a R/R tweener who is probably a utility player and a pinch runner. Mets got all the upside here. Frankly, I would rather have a couple of teenaged lottery tickets. Yeah but did you see his 14 games in 2024? He practically looked like Ronald Acuna.

January 21Jan 21 The last piece of that Hahn era is gone. Goodbye Robert. Thank you for that one amazing year. Other than that, likely will barely play 100 games with the Mets.

January 21Jan 21 lmfao, Chris getz will always be remembered for this garbage just like Hahn and Tatis Jr
January 21Jan 21 Safe to say that the Hahn method of signing guys to guaranteed money contracts with option years before they played in the majors did not work out...at all. It does not pay to be cheap asses. Edited January 21Jan 21 by chw42

January 21Jan 21 No one should be shocked here, Robert hasn’t been good in years and makes $20 million a year.

Sold lower now than they might have later, correct. There ought to be a good point to doing it now. Otherwise, don’t do it just to do it
January 21Jan 21 Should have traded him after 2023 when the plug got pulled. What a colossal blunder. Never in a million years would I have thought he would end up in an awful salary dump trade one day.

January 21Jan 21 No idea why you pick up the option if this is the return. A best-case bullpen guy and a 4th outfielder? Bleh.

January 21Jan 21 3 minutes ago, SoCalChiSox said: Yeah i think that's the plan. Awful value still though. Give him every chance to be your center fielder. Much more valuable to the Sox than being another utility player.
