2025 has been the worst season of Luis Robert Jr.'s career by a wide margin. And unfortunately for the Chicago White Sox, it was the one year they were betting on his talent to result in production.
White Sox GM Chris Getz turned down a number of trade offers for Robert Jr. during the offseason, reportedly holding out for two of a team's Top 10 prospects.
If Robert had a big year, the White Sox would get a huge haul to accelerate their rebuild. But if Robert failed to produce, his value would only continue to plummet for where it was in December.
