The New York Mets traded infielder Luisangel Acuña and minor league pitcher Truman Pauley to the Chicago White Sox for center fielder Luis Robert Jr., who has faced injury and performance issues since a strong 2023 season. This move comes as the Mets seek outfield assistance after trading Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers. Robert, despite hitting a career-low .223 last year, will have his $20 million option for 2026 exercised by the White Sox. Additionally, the Mets recently secured a $126 million contract with two-time All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette, who will transition to third base.
