Luis Robert Jr., once the future star of the White Sox, now faces trade rumors as his performance has severely declined from an All-Star level to below the Mendoza Line.
Robert's contract options may deter potential teams from picking up a $20 million club option for 2026, leading to skepticism about his value in a trade.
Injuries have impacted Robert's playing time, and his recent stats show a significant drop, hitting .190 with a .599 OPS and 0.0 bWAR this season.
MLB insider Ken Rosenthal noted that if Luis Robert is traded, it is unlikely the acquiring team would pick up his club option due to his recent performance.
