The back and forth between the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox isn’t going to end anytime soon with less than 4 hours to go before the MLB trade deadline. According to the most recent Mets rumors, it doesn’t sound like the White Sox have been motivated enough to move Luis Robert.
It seems that other teams liked Robert, but didn't love him enough to meet Chicago's asking price to this point. The two $20 million club options for 2026 and 2027 complicate things to an extent, as some suitors may look at him as a rental while the White Sox do not.
