Luis Robert Jr. was traded from the White Sox to the Mets in January 2026 after struggling with injuries and posting low wRC+ seasons in 2024 and 2025. Despite a strong 2023 season with 38 home runs and a 129 wRC+, he averaged only 105 games played over the past two years, contributing just 1.8 fWAR. The Mets are cautiously integrating him during spring training, aiming for him to be their Opening Day center fielder. Projections suggest he could play 117-131 games and be a two-to-three win player if he stays healthy.
