It's been no secret that White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is a prime candidate to be traded this summer. With the trade deadline now just weeks away, those talks have reportedly been heating up of late as contenders begin to look to make some roster upgrades.
MLB insider Jon Heyman reported Sunday for the NY Post that as many as eight teams have inquired about Robert, including the likes of the Mets, Royals, Padres, Dodgers and Phillies. Of those five teams, four would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, while the Royals remain hopeful of pushing for the postseason in the second half.
