Mets, White Sox Luis Robert Trade Report Surfaces

Mets, White Sox Luis Robert Trade Report Surfaces originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is just a few seasons removed from receiving down-ballot American League MVP votes. Finishing 12th for that award in 2023, which is his lone All-Star season, Robert posted an .857 OPS en route to Silver Slugger honors. Advertisement Since that campaign, it has been a struggle for the right-handed center fielder. In 173 games since the 2024 MLB season began, Robert has hit just .209 with an OPS+ of 77 that rates well-below league average. Still just 27 years old, there is reason to believe Robert could regain form, which is why he continues being named in trade rumors despite the poor production.

Not only did the MLB insider predict Robert will almost certainly be traded if healthy, but Nightengale named the New York Mets as one of the teams keeping close tabs. Advertisement "The likelihood of Robert being traded barring an injury? Just about 100%," Nightengale wrote. "... It's not as if anyone is going to pick up the $20 million options on him this year or next, but the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies are keeping close tabs on him." New York, currently mired in a skid that has produced just three wins in 10 games, could use outfield help. With Jesse Winker and Jose Siri both out with injuries, the Mets have turned to different options in the outfield with varying levels of success. Robert would be an upside swing for the Mets, but even amid what has been a dreadful 2025 campaign, the Cuban outfielder owns an .870 OPS against left-handed pitching. As a team, the Mets rank just 17th in MLB with a .675 OPS against lefties (via MLB), meaning even this version of Robert could help.

Mets Announce Signing of Former Atlanta Braves Player Before Pirates Game

Mets Announce Signing of Former Atlanta Braves Player Before Pirates Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets have pushed themselves to the top of the National League East as they reach the halfway point of the season, holding a narrow lead over the Philadelphia Phillies. Following a recent rough patch, the Mets now sit at 48-34 through 82 games and appear to be back on track after an impressive shutout outing against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday. Advertisement Over the past month, the Mets have made subtle adjustments to ensure that depth remains a strength heading into the second half. With a demanding schedule ahead and outfield injuries lingering, the front office has kept an eye on experienced players who can step in when needed. New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza (64) © Thomas Shea-Imagn Images Ahead of their weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Mets announced the signing outfielder José Azocar to a minor league deal, bringing him back into the organization. Azocar played in 12 games for the Mets earlier this season, batting .278 batting, with 5 hits, an RBI and 5 runs scored before being designated for assignment in late May. He elected free agency, eventually signing with the Atlanta Braves, but now returns to Triple-A Syracuse to serve as outfield insurance. Azocar, 29, also has major league experience with the San Diego Padres, and is valued for his speed and defensive versatility. If injuries arise or matchups demand, he could be a candidate for a call-up as the Mets aim to protect their slim lead in the NL East.

Juan Soto Had Five Words During Mets' Players Only Meeting

Juan Soto Had Five Words During Mets' Players Only Meeting originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets are struggling. Falling to the Pittsburgh Pirates by a final score of 9-2 on Saturday, New York dropped its second straight game, which also marked a seventh loss in 10 contests. Once comfortably atop the NL East, this skid has the Mets a half-game back of the Philadelphia Phillies for first place. Advertisement Recognizing the urgency of this moment, the Mets had a players only meeting following Saturday's loss. Outfielder Brandon Nimmo told reporters that 6-7 players spoke in the meeting, naming Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso as two of them (via SNY). As it turns out, Juan Soto also spoke up. New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (22)© Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images While Soto is in his first year with the Mets, his stature in the league and record-breaking $765 million contract give him a voice. He reportedly used that voice during the Mets' team meeting, but kept his message simple. "Keep going," he said (via Mike Puma of the New York Post). "Believe in it." Soto hasn't exactly been the problem for the Mets during their recent skid. The left-handed slugger is hitting .273 over his last seven games with an .818 slugging percentage. This is part of a broader stretch of good play for Soto, as he owns an 1.150 OPS over his last 30 games. Advertisement With all the talk about Soto's slow start to his Mets tenure, he now ranks eighth in the National League in OPS, seventh in home runs and third in on-base percentage. Amid this improved play, he is also reportedly using his voice in the clubhouse.
