Part 6/11:
Once a superstar prospect, Robert’s production has waned over the past two seasons, with OPS regressions and inconsistent performance. The White Sox are expected to exercise his $20 million club option, opting to keep him on their roster, but could decline it, making Robert a free agent. If he hits the market, he could be a good stopgap—especially against left-handed pitching—thanks to his power and speed. However, the $20 million price tag and injury history dampen enthusiasm. Trading prospects for him may not justify the risk, especially with Benj waiting in the wings.
