Mets actively searching center field market, scouting two former All-Stars | Sporting News
Briefly

The New York Mets are actively pursuing a center field upgrade as the trade deadline approaches. Cedric Mullins of the Baltimore Orioles and Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox are key targets, despite both experiencing subpar seasons. Robert has recently shown improvement, boasting impressive numbers in July after a challenging start. The White Sox have been hesitant to trade him without better prospects. A strong center fielder could enhance the Mets' chances for a successful postseason run, making Robert an appealing choice.
The New York Mets are keeping an eye on centerfielders Cedric Mullins of the Baltimore Orioles and Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox.
Robert has been in trade rumors for a while now, but the White Sox decided to hold on to him with hopes that he would rebuild his trade value this season.
Before getting hurt, he was easily having the best month of any over the past two seasons, hitting .351 with a .442 OBP in July.
Adding a solid centerfielder would boost New York's odds at a deep postseason run, and Robert seems like the best option going forward.
