Chicago White Sox: Luis Robert Jr. takes shot at former team prior to Mets debut
Early this past off-season the Chicago White Sox traded former All-Star center fielder Luis Robert Jr. to the New York Mets. In return, they received Luisangel Acuna, who made the Opening Day roster and replaced Robert in center field. The trade followed many frustrating years in which Chicago waited patiently for Robert to find his swing.
In 2023, Robert hit .264/.315/.542 with 38 home runs, 80 RBI, and 20 stolen bases. He made the AL All-Star team, won the Silver Slugger, and finished 12th in AL MVP voting.
But over the next two seasons, he hit just .223/.288/.372 while averaging 14 home runs and 44 RBI a year. He also averaged 28 stolen bases a year, but his overall production plummeted.
Luis Robert Jr. took a shot at the Chicago White Sox on Opening Day
Robert made the Opening Day roster for the Mets, as expected. Before his first game in New York, he was asked by the media about his excitement level for playing in front of their fans. In his answer, he took a shot at the White Sox and fans in Chicago:
Luis Robert Jr: “I am sure that Thursday the stadium is going to be packed, which is something that over the last few years in Chicago I didn’t get to experience that. It’s going to be a new experience for me.”
— Mike Puma (@NYPost_Mets) March 26, 2026
The White Sox, of course, did not win very many games during Robert’s last two seasons in Chicago. Attendance was down, and he believes he will, for the first time in his career, play in front of bigger crowds.
To add to his insult, Robert went 2-4 with two RBI and a run scored in his Mets debut. New York won 11-7.
Chicago, meanwhile, went down 14-2 against the Milwaukee Brewers.
