The White Sox traded Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets and received Luisangel Acuña and a fringe 12th‑round signee, a deal many view as a missed chance after Robert’s 2023 breakout. The return offers little long‑term value, and questions linger about whether the team should have moved him earlier, especially given the 2027 club option and his recent, slower production.
The Mets acquired center fielder Luis Robert Jr. from the White Sox for infielder Luisangel Acuña and pitcher Truman Pauley, taking on Robert’s $20 million salary for 2026 (with a $20 million option for 2027). Once a 38-homer producer in 2023, Robert has slumped to .223/.288/.372 with 28 homers over the past two seasons, but his elite defense and upside give New York a much-needed upgrade in center as they reshuffle their outfield around Juan Soto.
The Mets and White Sox agreed to a deal sending outfielder Luis Robert Jr. to New York in exchange for rookie infielder Luisangel Acuña and minor league right-hander Truman Pauley, ending years of Robert trade chatter as the White Sox pivot into a rebuild and the Mets add a dynamic, but injury-prone, star to their roster.
The Mets and White Sox are in ongoing trade discussions involving White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr., with the Mets also considering infielder Luisangel Acuña as part of the potential deal. The White Sox are exploring options, including possibly holding onto Robert if a suitable prospect package isn't offered, and other teams like the Padres and Phillies are also interested in Robert.
Luisangel Acuña is returning to the Mets after three weeks at Triple-A Syracuse, with the team designating Travis Jankowski for assignment to make room. Acuña performed well at Syracuse and previously had a strong showing with the Mets last September.
The Mets designated outfielder Travis Jankowski for assignment to make room for Luisangel Acuña on the roster, with Jankowski having limited playing time this season and a career as a reserve outfielder. Acuña was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, where he played 12 games, and can contribute in the outfield. The team also called up reliever Austin Warren for the doubleheader against the Orioles.
The Mets made roster changes by selecting Travis Jankowski and optioning Luisangel Acuña to Triple-A, while also signing Richard Lovelady and managing injuries, including Jose Siri's extended IL stay, to optimize their lineup and roster flexibility.
The New York Mets have traded pitcher Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers in exchange for prospect Luisangel Acuña and financial considerations. The Mets, who are in sell-off mode, clear payroll space for future moves while the Rangers add a veteran ace to bolster their rotation. Both teams receive favorable grades for the trade, with the Mets acquiring a highly regarded prospect and the Rangers gaining a proven competitor with postseason experience.
