Mets Holding Robert? Missed Opportunity | New York Mets News

The Mets are baffling fans by holding onto underperforming outfielder Luis Robert, despite his .197 batting average and lackluster stats—yet they’re not even planning to re-sign him. At just 28, Robert still packs rare power-speed combo from the right side, making him a tantalizing trade asset. With AJ Ewing and Carson Benge ready to step up, and Juan Soto already in the mix, the Mets’ outfield is set for the future. And with postseason hopes dashed, keeping Robert around for the final two months seems like wasted roster space. Plus, owner Steve Cohen has shown he’ll pay big to acquire prospects—so why not try to get something back? Holding onto Robert without any return feels like a glaring strategic misstep.
