The New York Mets plan to be sellers at the trade deadline, with multiple teams reportedly interested in outfielder Luis Robert Jr. After missing part of the season due to injury, Robert was activated this week and has hit a home run since returning. However, he has struggled overall this season, hitting.211 with an OPS under.700 in 27 games. While the Mets do not need Robert and are likely to decline his $20 million club option for next season, his past performance has kept him relevant in trade discussions, with teams hoping he can regain his potential.
