Mets Predicted to Acquire $50 Million All-Star From Lowly White Sox
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The trade deadline has nearly arrived, and the New York Mets still have a big question mark in center field. No offense intended to Tyrone Taylor, who was a good trade acquisition by the Mets two offseasons ago. But New York doesn't currently have a starting caliber center fielder with the ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball. There's one main name atop the list of center fielders who could be traded, and the Mets appear to be a fit. But it's certainly a risky idea.

BOSTON, MA - APRIL 21: The Chicago White Sox logo is seen on a jersey during their game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on April 21, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo By)Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. has had two bad seasons in a row, distancing himself from his brilliant All-Star campaign in 2023. But he's coming to the end of a six-year, $50 million extension, so the White Sox are likely to move him without asking for a huge return. On Sunday, Just Baseball's Jay Staph and Ryan Finkelstein predicted that the Mets would acquire Robert by Thursday's deadline, and projected that outfielder Drew Gilbert would be the return headed to Chicago in the deal. "(Robert) is a good flier to take, because worst-case scenario, they can platoon (him) with (Jeff) McNeil in center field. Best case, you get something closer to what we saw in 2023, and Robert becomes a real difference-maker down the stretch," wrote Finkelstein and Staph. "The Mets can send a prospect the White Sox way, and still one that is close enough to the big leagues that Chicago can get excited." Robert, 27, was swinging a hot bat until missing a few games recently with adductor soreness. But he returned to the lineup on Sunday, so at least the Mets would know he's healthy. The real question is whether or not Gilbert would be accepted as the return, as USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported recently that the White Sox were holding firm on their ask for third baseman Mark Vientos in a potential Robert deal.

$106 million All-Star 'has made it clear' he would not accept trade to Mets
The New York Mets could be in the market for an outfielder near the trade deadline. However, one option may not be in the cards for the team, as he has made it known he will not waive his no-trade clause for the Mets. Tyrone Taylor has been the Mets' primary center fielder this year. However, his offensive ceiling is not very high, and the Mets may want to find a better option at the trade deadline. Jeff McNeil has started getting more looks in the outfield, but he is more valuable to fill the need in the Mets' infield. Advertisement According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Pirates are taking calls on everyone except Paul Skenes and Oneil Cruz. Bryan Reynolds could be a great addition to the Mets' outfield. They may have to move Brandon Nimmo to center field to play Reynolds in the corner, but he would certainly bring some upside to the team. However, the Mets will need to pump the brakes on any potential trade for Reynolds. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Noah Hiles, Bryan Reynolds will not approve a trade to the Mets or some other contenders. "A few national reports have stated that Bryan Reynolds is also receiving some trade interest," wrote Hiles. "Moving Reynolds, however, might not be as easy as others. Reynolds, who is under team control through the 2031 season, features a six-team no-trade clause in his contract, meaning he has made it clear he would not approve a deal to certain locations. Those six teams, per sources, are the (New York) Yankees, (New York) Mets, (Toronto) Blue Jays, (Los Angeles) Dodgers, (San Francisco) Giants and (San Diego) Padres." Follow The Sporting News On WhatsApp All of the teams that Reynolds would reportedly not waive his no-trade clause for are teams with postseason aspirations. The Pirates are set up to be sellers and could get a haul for Reynolds. Advertisement He signed an eight-year, $106 million deal with the Pirates in 2023. He is a two-time All-Star and has plenty of club control. He is having a down year at the plate, but was an All-Star as recently as last season. He has a .808 career OPS and 132 home runs. He has the potential to be a massive upgrade for the Mets. More MLB: Braves make Ronald Acuña Jr. trade decision

(AP Photo/Laurence Kesterson) PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryson Stott hit a bases-clearing triple in a six-run seventh inning and the Philadelphia Phillies surged past the slumping New York Mets into first place in the NL East with a 10-2 victory on Friday night. Nick Castellanos homered for the Phillies, who opened the three-game set between division rivals with their eighth win in their last nine games. Advertisement Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil homered for New York, which has lost seven straight. Reliever Reed Garrett (2-3) started the seventh for the Mets but failed to retire any of the five batters he faced after opening the frame by giving up doubles to Brandon Marsh and Trea Turner. Alec Bohm's RBI single put Philadelphia in front 4-2, ending Garrett's night. Justin Garza then surrendered an RBI single to Castellanos before Stott's drive off the wall in left-center. After Phillies starter Zack Wheeler could only get through five scoreless innings, New York took advantage against Taijuan Walker. Alonso opened the sixth by hitting a 90-mph cutter into the batter's eye in center for his 18th of the season. McNeil tied it with a drive to right. Advertisement After Walker got an out and allowed a single, Tanner Banks (2-0) came in and blanked the Mets over 1 2/3 strong innings. Key Moment J.T. Realmuto followed Castellanos closely home on Stott's hit, sliding safely to the plate at nearly the same time. Key Stat 4 — Number of strong defensive plays by Phillies first baseman Otto Kemp.

Riley's sacrifice fly in 10th inning caps Braves' comeback for 5-4 win over Mets
ATLANTA — Austin Riley hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to deep center field in the 10th inning, lifting the Atlanta Braves to a 5-4 comeback win over the New York Mets on Tuesday night. Marcell Ozuna tied the score with a three-run double in the eighth, and the Braves rebounded from a 10-1 loss at home Sunday to lowly Colorado. Atlanta has won four of five. New York, which leads the NL East, has dropped four in a row for the first time this season. Luke Williams opened the bottom of the 10th on second as the automatic runner. He scampered to third on a wild pitch from Huascar Brazobán (3-2) when catcher Francisco Alvarez made an ill-advised throw to second with Williams hung up between bases. Brazobán walked Matt Olson to load the bases, and Riley's flyball allowed Williams to score easily. Raisel Iglesias (4-5) pitched a perfect inning for the win. Tyrone Taylor homered and drove in three runs, and Juan Soto also homered as the Mets built a 4-1 lead. Soto singled in the ninth off Dylan Lee but was doubled off first base after Ronald Acuña Jr. caught Pete Alonzo's drive at the right-field wall. The first pitch was delayed 56 minutes by rain. The Braves loaded the bases with no outs in the eighth with three singles off starter David Peterson and reliever Reed Garrett. Olson struck out against Garrett, and Riley hit a pop fly to shallow right field before Ozuna's double off Garrett tied the game. According to research from the Elias Sports Bureau provided by the Braves, their 71st game of the season was the latest they've played their first game against a division opponent in 25 years. During the 2000 season, they played their first game against the Montreal Expos in their 76st game. Braves left-hander Chris Sale (4-4, 2.79 ERA) will face Mets right-hander Paul Blackburn (0-0, 6.75) on Wednesday night. Sale had his scheduled start Sunday against Colorado pushed back so he would be available against the Mets. ___ AP MLB:
