๐จWhite Sox Trade Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets | White Sox Podcast
Chuck Garfien is joined by White Sox field reporter Connor McKnight to break down one of the biggest moves of the offseason, Luis Robert Jr. being dealt to the New York Mets and what it means for the organization moving forward.
The duo also digs into Chris Getzโs role in reshaping the roster and the return headlined by Luisangel Acuรฑa. From there, the conversation turns to the ripple effects of the trade, expectations for Robert in 2026, how the White Sox might deploy their new financial flexibility, and where the front office could look to invest as the next phase of the rebuild takes shape.

Cheap ass JR will spend 10 million and keep 10 millionโฆ..book it!
I heard he pulled a hamstring getting on the plane ๐ฆต
So many people have an opinion, without having a clue
Great move imo. I wanted Acuna in a package this past summer
So the Sox traded (when healthy) a 5 tool player for another middle infielder that is a mediocre hitter, and a pitcher who will never pitch in the majors. Getz's worst trade by far.
Go Sox
Melania should also be locked up Matthew 18:6 revelation 21:8
Mixed feelings about this.
If they put the money back into the roster itโs a good deal
The one good thing I'll say the Sox did was fool mlb teams and fans into thinking these players are only bad because of the white Sox. They think they'll get better once they're out of Chicago. But they're just bad players, how did the change of scenery work for eloy, abreu, Anderson, moncada. Vaughn had a good month in Milwaukee but I'm not convinced he's a different player. The white Sox have had their issues, which i think are changing but these guy are bad players because they're bad and constantly injured.
If Sox would of eaten Robert salary, how much better would the return of been? Typical Jerry.
Letโs go white Sox
Every Strikeout in the ML is the Most Humbling Experiece for a Hitter . The Ones who have that Natural Talent Can Overcome that as a Frequent Accurence by Mentally Concentrating on Every AB they get just a Little Bit More . Sometimes that is All it takes . I just Hope as a Met Fan Robert Junior can Accomplish that playing in a Major Market now .
Pete Varney, a catcher out of Harvard, was a 1st round pick of the Sox in the June, 1971 draft. He had a few looks at the big league level between 1973 and 1976. Pauley would then be at least the 2nd Harvard grad to play in the Sox organization.
