Luis Robert Jr. Remains with White Sox After Deadline

Despite significant trade interest, the New York Mets and other suitors were unable to find a new home for outfielder Luis Robert Jr. before the MLB trade deadline. While the Mets moved all of their expiring contracts and two pieces with team control, Robert remains with his current club. The lack of a deal means the high-upside outfielder will stay put for the remainder of the 2026 season, as teams were unable to meet the asking price for the controlled asset.
