According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, one name to keep an eye on when it comes to the Seattle Mariners and potential trade targets is Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox.
“I understand you’ve got a center fielder already , but Luis Robert is the impact of impact-type players, and a guy who’s under contract for multiple years, too,” Passan said.
The AL is wide open, ESPN's Jeff Passan said, and the M's may not need to trade a pitcher to take advantage.It's certainly clear that the Mariners need offensive help with Mitch Garver, Jorge Polanco and Mitch Haniger all performing below their career norms, not to mention Rodriguez's slow start in the power department, so Robert Jr. is undoubtedly an intriguing name to watch.
The question will be if the M's are willing to pony up the group of prospects it would take to pry Robert Jr. away from the South Side. The M's have four players in the Top 100 of MLB.com's latest prospect rankings , and they'd likely need to part with multiple of those prospects in order to faciliate anything for Robert Jr.
Robert Jr. is 26 years old and comes with three years of team control , so the age and contract status work, but he comes with some injury risks. Currently on the injured list with a hip issue, Robert Jr. has missed time in each full season since 2021, though he did play 145 games a season ago. A lifetime .278 hitter, he hit 38 homerse and drove in 80 runs during the 2023 season for the White Sox.
