The Chicago White Sox are willing to move their star outfielder Luis Robert Jr. if they receive the right trade return. Chicago is rumored to be searching for young position players in return, although it may be tough to get the package it desires.
There will be, and have been, plenty of suitors for the young outfielder. Robert clubbed 38 home runs and stole 20 bases in 2023, though his 2024 season was lackluster at best. One of the teams that could make sense as a trade destination is the New York Yankees if the Bronx Bombers miss out on Juan Soto.
MLB Network’s Anthony Castrovince pitched quite the blockbuster trade that would send Robert to the Bronx. Instead of pitching a return that involves multiple top prospects from the Yankees’ system, Castrovince kept it simple. He suggested trading top prospect Jasson Dominguez for Robert.
