White Sox ‘willing to deal’ Luis Robert Jr.: 5 landing spots

Philadelphia Phillies

The trade: The Phillies acquire Robert. The White Sox acquire Aidan Miller, Starlyn Caba and George Klassen.

Johan Rojas was a nice surprise for the Phillies in 2023 hitting .302 in 164 plate appearances. That has not translated over to this season. The 23-year-old has a .572 OPS in 2024. Philadelphia has plenty of quality bats in its quality lineup, but after falling short in recent years, why not add another big player to its core? A Robert addition could make the Phillies World Series favorites.

This would be a quality package for Chicago to receive for its star. Miller,19, has excelled in pro ball since he was taken in the first round in 2023. He has played both shortstop and third base, but he may profile best at the hot corner as he physically matures. Starlyn Caba is 18 years old and he has been one of the biggest highlights in Philadelphia’s farm system this season. The shortstop has a .838 OPS in rookie ball. Klassen has been one of the best arms in minor league baseball with a 0.26 ERA and ranks as the Phillies’ No. 28 prospect.
