The New York Mets are active in seeking a center field upgrade with only four days before the trade deadline. They are particularly interested in Cedric Mullins of the Baltimore Orioles and Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox. While both players have faced challenges, a new environment could help them thrive. Robert has shown improvement in July, effectively raising his market appeal. However, the White Sox are waiting for increased prospect offers before completing any trades. Acquiring a center fielder could enhance the Mets' chances for a successful postseason run.
Robert returned to the lineup on Sunday as the designated hitter after missing the previous two games due to groin tightness, hitting .351 with a .442 OBP in July.
The White Sox have been waiting for an increase in prospect capital to move forward on a deal, but they could always pick up the option in his contract this offseason.
