Robert’s Return or Trade? | New York Mets News

Luis Robert Jr. is inching back toward the Mets’ lineup after a back injury sidelined him since April, set to begin rehab with Triple-A Syracuse. Once seen as the team’s everyday center fielder, his return is now uncertain with rookie A.J. Ewing and Tyrone Taylor also vying for the spot. Despite a stellar 2023 season — including 38 homers and MVP buzz — Robert’s injury history, including past hip and hamstring issues, makes him a risky asset. His $20M salary in 2026 could deter trades, but he’s determined to prove he’s still got what it takes to help the Mets win. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
