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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Phillies, Dodgers, Padres, Royals and Mets look like potential fits. Some believe he\u2019d regain form as a complementary player elsewhere. <\/p>\n
The Red Sox and Alex Bregman haven\u2019t yet spoken about an extension.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s rare a star of Bregman\u2019s stature signs within months of unfettered (no qualifying offer attached) free agency. But there\u2019s some chance, as both sides wouldn\u2019t mind getting something done. The belief here is that with Bregman\u2019s great start a deal would likely have to be around $184M (what he offered to sign with the Tigers), or perhaps even $200M.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eight teams have checked in on talented but struggling CF Luis Robert Jr., and if the White Sox…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16043,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[374,2318,363,15238,99,362,358],"class_list":["post-16042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-chicago-white-sox","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-trade-deadline","tag-sports","tag-sports-columnists","tag-sports-plus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
