Eight teams have checked in on talented but struggling CF Luis Robert Jr., and if the White Sox can trade him before confronting that $20M option decision, they need to do it.
The Phillies, Dodgers, Padres, Royals and Mets look like potential fits. Some believe he’d regain form as a complementary player elsewhere.
The Red Sox and Alex Bregman haven’t yet spoken about an extension.
It’s rare a star of Bregman’s stature signs within months of unfettered (no qualifying offer attached) free agency. But there’s some chance, as both sides wouldn’t mind getting something done. The belief here is that with Bregman’s great start a deal would likely have to be around $184M (what he offered to sign with the Tigers), or perhaps even $200M.
