W Stearns for waiting it out when they asked for Vientos midseason
Good for the Mets but could you please say his name right?
Acuna is gonna have to move to the outfield for the white Sox infield is locked up Meidroth is 2B Montgomery is SS Vargas is 3B he’s going to be a bench option unless he plays outfield
2023 was the year he had the full season, not 2021
I’m a Phillies fan and I want to blow my brains out
2021 was 5 years ago. That time has come and gone.
They're paying over $40 million for him after the luxury tax
As a White Sox fan, I can tell you he’ll probably rake for you guys. He’s had a reputation of being made of glass but so have a lot of other players so that might be more of a White Sox problem then a Robert problem.
Also Mets fans, yes, he goes by this pronunciation. Took a long time of Jason Benetti saying it before I finally accepted it.
interesting trade for both teams for sure
Acuña just hit 4 HRs in one game down in winter ball.
😢 sad day but I hope he wins a ring with the Mets
They paying 40 million! They get taxed this year
Interesting
Sad for ACUNA TRULY LOVED THE KID would have gotten rid of VIENTOS instead
The lineup is finally starting to come together! One more move for a LF, or hopefully Benge wins the job out of ST. One more signing for a SP, Framber or Gallen?
Crazy how much less the White Sox got holding onto him instead of trading him in 2023. They could've gotten a boatload of prospects but now he's been barely average for two years and his value's plummeted.
We gonna find out if he really is washed or if it was just the White Sox
Chris Getz wanted Jonah Tong for Robert straight up. Stearns did the right thing and hung up the phone.
$115M for 1 year of Robert!!!!
$35M + Scherzer for Acuna Acuna + prospect for Robert $20M due to Robert in 2026
Add in the 110% tax and WOOF
At worst he’s hurt the whole season again
Row Bear not Robert lol
You'd be lucky to get 90 games outta this guy
2022*
Robert Jr. is ass. An 80-something OPS + scrub. Who is made out of glsss.
Bad trade for the White Sox. What was the point of holding on to Robert during the whole of last season if a low ball offer is what you were going to accept?
Might as well let him play 2026 and potentially raise his trade stock.
Robert Jr was great in 2021 but he only hit 13 dingers. I think you're thinking of his 2023 season.
All of this sounds great until you remember that Robert is one of the most injury-prone players currently in MLB. And knowing the Mets’ luck, that won’t get any better with him in Queens…
Can't hate the move considering how little we gave up. That being said, I don't love it either. Knowing our luck he'll be the second coming of Jose Siri.
WHITE SOX GOT ACUNA
trading acuna to a shitty team that's gonna put him in the outfield, for one of their older outfielders who hasn't showed out in 3 years 😂 best of luck jolly, but i don't love this trade whatsoever
