Mets Release Luis Robert Jr. Amid Injury & Waiver Drama | New York Mets News

The Mets are sending Luis Robert Jr. to waivers — a 29-year-old power hitter with elite defense and a $5M price tag still owed — hoping another team will claim him, or they’ll keep him around like the Reds did with Suárez. Despite a strong August (6 HR, 11 RBI) and solid center field play, no trade emerged before the deadline. His injury woes — only 56 games this year after missing three months — may have hurt his value. Traded to the Mets in January from Chicago, where he smashed 100+ homers and stole 100+ bases over six seasons, Robert’s future remains uncertain as Juan Soto returns from the IL.
