Phillies pursue trade for White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr

The Philadelphia Phillies are pursuing a trade for Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. The White Sox are looking to offload players, having already traded Garrett Crochet. Robert could be next, with a deal potentially happening soon. The proposed trade would allow the Phillies to keep third baseman Alec Bohm while acquiring Robert, who has three years left on his contract. Robert had a strong 2023 season but struggled in 2024. In return, the White Sox would receive three promising prospects, including MLB Pipeline's 53rd-best prospect, Crawford. Rincon, a talented shortstop, and Boyd, a speed-focused outfielder, are also part of the potential deal.
