Will Mets Cut Ties With Luisangel Acuña In Trade For $50M White Sox Star?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Mets seem to be the front-runners for Luis Robert Jr. if the Chicago White Sox decide to move him. Robert is coming to the end of his six-year, $50 million extension in Chicago, the last two years of which have been a major disappointment. But he's heated up in July, and the former All-Star could provide a spark for a team that hasn't gotten much from its center fielders. According to reporter Mark Feinsand, the Mets have been described as one of the "most aggressive" teams in pursuit of Robert, who also has club options for the next two seasons at $20 million each. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 21: Luisangel Acuña #2 of the New York Mets attempts to turn a double play against Kyle Schwarber #12 of the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on June 21, 2025... PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 21: Luisangel Acuña #2 of the New York Mets attempts to turn a double play against Kyle Schwarber #12 of the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on June 21, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Mets defeated the Phillies 11-4. MorePreviously, Mark Vientos was a name at the forefront of Robert rumors, as Bob Nightengale of USA Today had said Chicago was asking for the 25-year-old third baseman. However, another young Mets infielder might be at risk as well. Feinsand reported Wednesday that Luisangel Acuña, the National League Rookie of the Month in April, was a name the two teams had discussed in Robert negotiations. "The White Sox are looking for a solid return for Robert, who remains an above-average defender in center field," wrote Feinsand. "Infielder Luisangel Acuña is one name being discussed in talks between Chicago and New York, a source said." Acuña, 23, has only 17 appearances since he was called back up from Triple-A on July 10. He's a useful pinch-runner, but the Mets don't seem to trust his bat enough to make an impact on their playoff run. Does that mean that Acuña, the younger brother of Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr., will be on the move for the second time in three years at the deadline? We'll know the answer by Thursday night. More MLB: Yankees Rumors: Pirates Emerging As Likely Pitching Trade Partner?

Mets recall Luisangel Acuña from Triple-a before doubleheader against Orioles
The New York Mets recalled 23-year-old utility man Luisangel Acuña from Triple-A Syracuse before Thursday's split doubleheader against Baltimore. The brother of Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., Luisangel Acuña went 13-for-45 (.286) for Syracuse after the Mets optioned him in late June. Capable of playing second base shortstop or the outfield, Acuña had batted .241 in 65 games before going to the minors. 'He was a big part of this team the first couple of months,' Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters of Acuña. 'We got to a point where we felt like, 'Hey, let's get him some everyday playing time.' And now it's time for him to be back up here continuing to help us win baseball games.' In a corresponding move, the Mets designated outfielder Travis Jankowski for assignment. Acuña was on the bench for New York's first game of the doubleheader.
