I know the Mets have Siri & Taylor, but with a Marte trade possible, they could slide Nimmo to DH & that opens up a spot…I know, I kind of shoehorned the Mets in here - but I like the idea of him in Queens!
Siri and Taylor isn’t gonna get nothing done my guy. This team is looking rough. Worse at every aspect lineup rotation and pen. And pen was terrible last year and it’s worse. SMH.
Reds fan here man! I would 10,000% sign off on this deal if that was all that it would take! If Nick Kroll didn’t do this deal, he should be fired! The OF has been the team’s biggest need for far too long now!
Reds fan since big red machine krall needs to do trade today Franconia will bring out best in Louis and with Cruz another young talent if I was krall id give even higher price on front in our window is now do something ownership
As a Braves fan I would do the deal. But man I am a big Lucas Braun fan. It would suck to part with him. But we need to improve the right now. We are still in our championship window.
You're not wrong, but they did already trade Horwitz (2nd on the team last year in OPS+) in order to bring in Gimenez, who had an 82 OPS+. It's right up their alley haha.
Robert had 1 good year in 2023. Definitely a gamble. The only plus is the club option. I wouldn't give up Wagner for Robert. looking at Robert's stats, he hasn't played alot of games year over year. Is he injury prone? Does he get benched? Jays need a bat and I don't think Robert is what the Jays need.
His rookie year he was runner up rookie of the year in the Covid shortened season. He led the league in batting average in 2021 before a hip injury ended his year. He was second in the league in HRs with 38 just a season ago. But last year dealt with some lingering injuries on a historically bad team. He’a still young and has major talent but has had some injury’s in the past that have kept him from fully reaching his potential. I’ll definitely be interested to see where he ends up.
@@NathanLucas-r4l I have to be honest, I'm not impressed with his stats. Mediocre at best. Not a high end guy. Now if the Jays had 2 solid OFs and need a 3rd ok sure plug in Roberts and if it doesn't work no big deal. Jays need an impact bat. i just don't see it with Robert. The last things Jays need is 3 OFs who cant' hit but eating up the payroll. It's the wrong direction. If Jays could get Robert at a steal then sure why not. Toss a couple AA guys the Sox way. Throw in Manoah.
His 162 game averages say otherwise. He’s a 5 WAR, 30 +HR a year gold glover according to the statistics. Quite the opposite of mediocre. He’s also young, and on an extremely team friendly deal.
@@NathanLucas-r4l In reality, those stats are bogus. Year over year his stats dont reflect that whatsoever. He has played 100 games 2 of his 5 seasons. He has hit 30+ HRs only once in his 5 seasons. a 5 WAR only once. You would be getting a player who may not play 100 games and wont put up numbers. That's the reality.
Okay his stats say otherwise. His heath is the concern not his production. You can have whatever opinion of him you’d like but the reality is he is a 5 WAR average player who also averages 30+ HRs in 162 games. That’s the reality. He also has a gold glover, a silver slugger, and received MVP votes just a season ago. Whether you like it or not LRJ is elite.
I think a lot of these teams don't want to give up prospects for a high risk like Luis Roberts Jr. , with the main risk being injury but he could also be in a decline. If I were David Stearns I wouldn't touch him even if they said they just want Bret Baty.
I'm not giving up potentially good prospects for a guy who's basically an often injured, below average fielder/runner with a so so bat... remember folks, this guy batted .224 last year... consciously hurt, and never ever played a full season in the majors!
Below average fielder with a so so bat? That’s the farthest thing from an accurate statement. Luis Robert is one of the best defensive CFs in the league who’s won the GG, SS, and been an AS. He led the league in average in 2021 and was 2nd in the league in HRs just a season ago. La Pantera is elite.
@@NathanLucas-r4l Ok I give you that... he's got a good arm. But he is not a fast runner who could catch up to screaming line drives... I have seen some of the best in my time, and he's nowhere near the greats in my generation. By the way, he had one great year offensively... he's going into his 6th season, and you're calling him "elite"??
His 162 game averages are on par with that of a good number of hall of famers. His accolades would second that production. His injury’s have been the concern, not his abilities. And to say he isn’t fast and can’t get to line drives is again the farthest thing from the truth. He’s in the 90 percentile in sprint speed. He’s got one of the better jumps and has been one of the top players in the league in OAA since he entered the league. He also stole 23 bags in 26 attempts last year in just 100 games. So yeah I would say Robert is both fast and elite.
@@NathanLucas-r4l You must be in your 20s right, bruh? When you categorize someone as elite, it shouldn't be out of favoritism or bias. You know who were truly deserving of the word "elite"? People like Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Lou Brock, Rickie Henderson, Pete Rose, Ernie Banks, and so much more... look it up. All of the guys I mentioned here are in the Hall of Fame... I saw them all play. Your guy stole 23 bases in 26 attempts... that's amazing to you? I saw Lou Brock break Maury Wills' single season record of 104 bases... then was fortunate to see that broken by Rickey Henderson! THAT is impressive. But obviously you never heard of these guys have you? Nathan, I'm 67 yrs old and have seen some of the greatest ballplayers ever on a baseball diamond. Look up their stats and see for yourself what I'm talking about... better yet, watch some video.
I haven’t seen my 20’s in while. I did play the game for 24 years though. I don’t think I take away from the accomplishment of players like Mays, Aaron, or Rose when I say that Robert is elite. My favorite player is Eddie Mathew’s so I’m fully aware of who they were and what the greats of the game were capable of. Those players were all elite relative to their time, no different than Chipper Jones, Larry Walker, Ronald Acuna, or Juan Soto. Elite to me is being better than the vast majority of your counterparts. Luis is better than the vast majority of the players in this league. The reference to his 23 of 26 bags was simply a response to you saying Robert isn’t fast. Just stating a fact that he is one of faster players in the league. A Robert stat that does amaze me though is that he hit the farthest ball ever recorded in the stat cast era in his rookie season. I enjoy watching good baseball players. Robert has a whole lot to accomplish in his career before he makes it to the likes of the Hall of Famers you speak of. In the mean time it’s my opinion he’s elite.
It's funny how every White Sox player of the last couple years that are about to get traded never ever get anywhere close to the baseball trade values from you. But in the Bo Bichette video, we all had to understand that his value is more than the baseball trade value machine. Agreed the White Sox blow, but not every player (Cease) did. I'd rather take my chances with Robert than accept any of these offers.
Money 💰 Michael Harris is the Braves Center Fielder!!!! Why would you have Luis Robert Jr in Right field or left field 🤔 Braves need a Starting Pitcher 🤔 more than outfield help 🤔 😳 🙄
You constantly devalue the Dodgers players and prospects while upgrading every other teams players and prospects!!! SMH! A little too Anti Dodgers for my liking!
Dodgers fan here!! the bias this guy has against the Dodgers is unbearable and will not watch anymore of his videos... LA has 20 million people... bad business decision...
This feels like a gimmicky video, because it is. Why corner yourself to include everyone's #10 prospect. That is not how it works. Gimme back the 10 min I spent watching this video! 😂
Yes, I tried something different-this is not how I usually work these types of videos. (I take it you’re new). If it’s a dud, it’s a dud - but gotta try new things from time to time.
I know the Mets have Siri & Taylor, but with a Marte trade possible, they could slide Nimmo to DH & that opens up a spot…I know, I kind of shoehorned the Mets in here - but I like the idea of him in Queens!
Also…there are no Padres because they wouldn’t be able to take on his 15m salary.
Siri and Taylor isn’t gonna get nothing done my guy. This team is looking rough. Worse at every aspect lineup rotation and pen. And pen was terrible last year and it’s worse. SMH.
Smokin crack with that met package
The Mets have Robert Already , his Name is Siri ......
Mmmm sweet, sweet crack 🤤
This Guy is a Strike Out Machine........................PASS .
Reds fan here man! I would 10,000% sign off on this deal if that was all that it would take! If Nick Kroll didn’t do this deal, he should be fired! The OF has been the team’s biggest need for far too long now!
Who the hell is a reds fan 😂😂😂

As a white Sox fan I don’t really want to trade him. There is no value right now
There is value it's just low, they don't want to risk it getting even more low
Damn I didn’t know those people exist I feel bad for you
@@MangoClassicedYTthey won like 95 games in 2021
You’re a White Sox fan I thought they went extinct
@@MangoClassicedYT I'm a White Sox fan and I'd love to see Robert go. Guy is always hurt!
I would love to see Roberts in a Braves uniform!!! What a outfield that would be
Until he gets hurt.
The Jays would be insane to trade Will Wagner. He can actually hit
You're not wrong, but they did already trade Horwitz (2nd on the team last year in OPS+) in order to bring in Gimenez, who had an 82 OPS+. It's right up their alley haha.
As a sox fan i kinda wish he was in the crochet deal and we cenetered the package around mayer plus
Astros really need a OF
Is Santander still on the table?
Would love to see the Reds get Robert. He would do well hitting in GABP
Robert will be top 2 MVP. These teams are absolutely stupid.

Any chance he goes to the Reds?
Tong in my mind is UNTOUCHABLE!!!
White Sox should pay most of his salary and get an actual good haul of prospects. It’s not like they are going to compete in the next 3 years
I'm glad you didn't add the Phillies in this conversation.
We didn't want him at the trade deadline and we don't want him now.
@@faaqcee3 you guys got Kepler…that blocked any path that I could see

Will you be doing a video on predictions for this coming MLB season. Interested in hearing what your predictions will be??👍
@ballcapsports don’t forget the dbacks. I think they’ll try and deal for him, Ward, or Buxton. Get more RH with 3 lefty OFs.
Bring him to Atlanta will gladly take him the braves need to do something
With Roberts spending so much time on the IL no way the Mets will even consider Tong in that trade
As a White Sox fan I do like the Reds and Jays packages. The Braves is a total no go, they want hitters and 3 pitchers don't work.
trading him now when his value is lowest makes no sense and that is why it hasn’t happened.
Atlanta Braves ❤❤
Blue jays just have to slip into everything eh??
He’ll be perfect hitting behind Soto
Sox need to hang on to him and his he gets off to good start and stays healthy and then flip him at the break
The diamondbacks could easily trade for Roberts

White Sox don’t want pitching
I think the Pirates should be the most desperate to trade for him
Buccos are too cheap but the 3 names to give up probably won’t pan out in MLB as stars so as a fan I’d be all for it.
I’m not sure that the Braves currently have a GM.
Mets have Juan Soto, Starling Marte, Brandon Nimmo, Siri and Tyrone Taylor! Why do they need an Outfielder!?
Mets already have an overcrowded OF
how appropriate that the Blue Jays were runners up! lmfao
As reds fan do today'
White Sox OF Luis Robert Jr. Should get Traded to the Chicago Cubs in a Trade.
Jim- DMac is talking tonight about Edman to Short & Mookie to 2nd after a Robert Jr Trade. So it is being talked about in Dodger Podcast circles.
Like your content, but anyone can include different trade pieces an get different #...This type .of video is a waste
Please god let the Mets stop smelling their own farts on this pitching lab and get us an ace!!! wtf are we doing with this staff?!
