White Sox can't stop sabotaging themselves in market for top trade chip

The trade market of White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. has been a main storyline to watch for the team throughout the early part of the offseason. The White Sox made the decision to pick up Robert’s option after a strong showing in the second half, albeit one that ended prematurely after a hamstring injury in August. Despite him being heavily mentioned in trade rumors for the past calendar year, Robert’s underperformance and injury history haven’t netted General Manager Chris Getz a satisfactory trade return to this point, and Robert remains a member of the White Sox.
