Mets Place Robert Jr. on Waivers | MLB News

The Mets have placed Luis Robert Jr. on waivers, hoping to shed payroll ahead of the deadline — especially since they’re unlikely to pick up his $20M 2027 option. With $5M left on his deal, Robert’s recent hot streak — .300+ with 6 homers in 19 games — could spark interest, though he drew little trade buzz earlier due to injuries and poor performance. Teams have 48 hours to claim him; if no one does, he stays with the Mets, potentially playing into September. The 29-year-old, traded from the White Sox in January after a strong 2023, is showing signs of his old form — and could be a valuable late-season pickup.
