Tanner Banks faced Luis Robert Jr. during spring training, recalling Robert's impressive performance. After being traded to the Phillies, Banks expressed curiosity about Robert's future, predicting a trade is likely. Robert has struggled recently, batting .216 with persistent injuries, yet his potential makes him an attractive option for teams. Despite his $15 million salary, low-cost options for 2026 and 2027 could entice interest. Banks believes a change could revitalize Robert's performance, emphasizing the beneficial impact of a fresh start in baseball.
Take it from Banks: A fresh start could only help Robert. "For sure," Banks said. "Across the board in baseball, sometimes that's what it takes. Just a breath of fresh air."
Robert is batting .216 with a .285 on-base percentage, 24 homers, and a .649 OPS in 184 games and has dealt with hip, hamstring, knee, thumb, and groin injuries.
