To PHI: OF Luis Robert Jr., RHP John Brebbia
To CWS: RHP Mick Abel (No. 3 PHI prospect), SS Starlyn Caba (No. 5 PHI prospect), C Eduardo Tait (No. 8 PHI prospect), LHP Samuel Aldegheri (No. 10 PHI prospect)
The Chicago White Sox signed Luis Robert Jr. to a six-year, $50 million extension before he made his MLB debut prior to the 2020 season, and with a pair of $20 million club options for 2026 and 2027, he has three more years of control beyond this season.
The 26-year-old has dealt with injuries throughout his career, but when healthy he has been a superstar-caliber performer, posting a 124 OPS+ while averaging 37 doubles, 33 home runs, 91 RBI, 96 runs scored, 20 steals and 5.3 WAR per 162 games.
He could finally be the answer to a revolving door in center field for the Phillies.
The proposed return package reflects his upside as a Top 25 player in baseball when he is at his best, with a pair of Top 100 prospects in Mick Abel and Starlyn Caba, as well as two other impact prospect pieces in young catcher Eduardo Tait and left-hander Samuel Aldegheri.
Abel is off to a rocky start this season, but he is still only 22 years old with a strong track record and frontline upside, and the White Sox showed a willingness to buy low on high-ceiling arms last summer when they picked up Jake Eder and Ky Bush in trades.
It would be a big swing for the fences by the Phillies, but their title window is open right now and Robert could be the missing piece that pushes them over the top.
Veteran reliever John Brebbia has a 5.52 ERA over 33 appearances, but it is backed by a 3.22 FIP and a strong 37-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 29.1 innings, so he could also be a nice under-the-radar pickup.
