Mariners Did Themselves a Massive Favor by Steering Clear of Luis Robert Jr.

Sometimes in Major League Baseball, certain players get talked about in the rumor mill for years at a time. One of those players is Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox.

He was a highly thought of prospect when he signed out of Cuba. He had a good start to his career as he finished behind Kyle Lewis in the American League Rookie of the Year race in 2020. Since then, he has shown glimpses of talent, but never put it all together for a variety of reasons.

Robert has dealt with lots of different injuries throughout his career, and has struggled to put together a full season of the All-Star-caliber stats that he has shown off in smaller sample sizes.
