Luis Robert Jr. doesn't want to be traded by the Mets.
"To be honest, I'd like to stay here," Robert told Anthony DiComo of MLB.com on Monday. "I don't like those types of moves or trades that just happen in the middle of the season and you have to move around fast."
Whether he prefers to stay in Queens with the Mets, Robert needs to brace for a trade.
Outfield is the least of the Mets' problems as the focus shifts to next season and beyond. With phenoms A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge blossoming into everyday players alongside superstar Juan Soto, it would be a surprise if the Mets picked up Robert's $20 million club option for next year. There's no spot for him to get consistent playing time.
Therefore, since Robert must be treated like a player on an expiring deal, the Mets will look to get as much back for him as they can. Bob Nightengale of USA Today used the word "desperate" to describe how badly the Mets are trying to move Robert this week.
