With the Chicago White Sox facing another potential last-place finish, trading All-Star centerfielder Luis Robert Jr. is under consideration. As the July 31 trade deadline approaches, interest in Robert is rising, specifically from the New York Mets. The White Sox are requesting 25-year-old third baseman Mark Vientos as part of the trade. Robert's performance includes a .983 OPS in July, and he has two years left on his contract. In contrast, Vientos had a breakout year in 2024 but is performing below expectations this season.
The Chicago White Sox want third baseman Mark Vientos from the New York Mets in any deal for Luis Robert Jr., who has a .983 OPS in 11 July games.
Robert has two seasons remaining on his contract, and they're both team options, giving his next team full control over his future.
If picked up, he'll earn $20 million in both years.
Vientos broke out in a big way in 2024, hitting 27 home runs while finishing with an OPS+ of 136.
