Luis Robert Targeted by St. Louis Cardinals as High-Upside Bounce-Back Option

Center fielder Luis Robert, who spent an injury-plagued 2026 with the New York Mets, is a target for the St. Louis Cardinals. Despite logging just 230 plate appearances due to soft-tissue injuries, Robert hit 11 home runs, registered a 77.3 MPH average bat speed, and maintained a 28.9 ft/s sprint speed. Projected for a one-year, $14 million deal, he offers 30-30 upside if he maintains health in center field or DH.
