Though talks remain preliminary, the White Sox are reportedly interested in right-handed pitching prospect Blade Tidwell as part of any return.<\/p><p><em>The New York Post&rsquo;s<\/em> Jon Heyman added that nothing is actively brewing &ldquo;at this moment,&rdquo; but Robert&rsquo;s name is expected to circulate heavily over the next few months.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Regarding recent rumors, there&rsquo;s nothing hot at the moment with the Mets and Luis Robert. They&rsquo;ve checked on him in the past. CF isn&rsquo;t a necessity but a potential area of interest down the road.<\/p>&mdash; Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonHeyman\/status\/1921583800795980005?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Tidwell, 23, made his MLB debut last weekend against the Cardinals after a string of Triple-A outings. He&rsquo;s posted a 4.45 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across seven starts in Syracuse this season, and while the surface numbers don&rsquo;t jump off the page, his underlying metrics suggest he&rsquo;s been unlucky more than ineffective. Currently ranked as the Mets&rsquo; No. 12 prospect by Joe DeMayo, Tidwell features the kind of high-upside arsenal that rebuilding teams like Chicago tend to covet.<\/p><p>As for Robert, the 27-year-old hasn&rsquo;t replicated his All-Star 2023 campaign, at least not at the plate. He&rsquo;s slashing just .215\/.282\/.366 since the start of 2024, with a modest 82 wRC+ and 19 homers over his last 137 games. His strikeout rate has ballooned to 32.6% in that span, but he&rsquo;s also walked at a decent 8.3% clip and stolen 38 bases. This year alone, he leads the majors with 15 steals and continues to play above-average defense in center field, all while staying healthy, something that&rsquo;s been a challenge in past seasons.<\/p><p>The White Sox, languishing near the bottom of the standings, appear ready to field offers for their biggest remaining star. Robert is under contract for $15 million this season with a $20 million team option for 2026, giving any acquiring team both flexibility and cost control.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Luis Robert Jr. Fit Into Mets&rsquo; Outfield?<\/h2><p>Tyrone Taylor has filled in center field during Jose Siri&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/whats-next-for-mets-after-jose-siris-8-10-week-injury-absence\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>recovery from a fractured tibia<\/a>, but he&rsquo;s hitting just .249\/.295\/.317, good for a 90 wRC+, and doesn&rsquo;t offer the ceiling Robert does. While Brandon Nimmo has settled into left field, and second base remains a rotation of Luisangel Acu&ntilde;a, Brett Baty, and Jeff McNeil, center field stands out as the most logical area for an upgrade.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/jesse-winker-injury-update-what-it-means-for-the-mets-lineup-and-outfield\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Jesse Winker Injury Update: What It Means for the Mets&rsquo; Lineup and Outfield<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>It&rsquo;s unclear whether the Mets are prepared to meet Chicago&rsquo;s price just yet, but Robert may just fit in perfectly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blade Tidwell could be a key name in the mix!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":51566,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[5789,874,4769],"class_list":["post-51593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-luis-robert-jr","tag-mets","tag-white-sox"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
