Mets Waive Robert Jr. Could Phillies Claim Him | MLB News

The Mets have sent Luis Robert Jr. to outright waivers, giving any team two days to claim him — and the Phillies might pounce. After a rough start with a .347 OPS in seven games, Robert’s been on fire since August 5, smashing six homers and driving in 11 runs in 71 plate appearances. Beyond his bat heating up, he’s a versatile defender who can play center or left field. With the Phillies needing a right-handed bat and chasing a playoff push, Robert could be their final piece — and he’s still eligible for postseason play, owed just under $5M this year with a $2M buyout next season.
