Why future-focused White Sox decision on Luis Robert should come as no surprise
It should be no surprise that Luis Robert is not getting a September call-up.
After all, these are the rebuilding White Sox, whose general manager has told us over and over again that his sights are squarely on the long-term success of the organization.
The folks involved with this team on a daily basis — be they fans or players or even the very front-office staff who made this decision — are understandably biased. They have seen the fortunes of this team over the past five months and know that those fortunes would be improved with the addition of a five-tool threat like Robert, the organization’s top-ranked prospect and a guy who was perhaps the best hitter in the minor leagues this season.
