Despite his status as one of the best hitters believed to be available on the trade market, there reportedly hasn't been much movement toward a deal involving Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. thus far.

According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, there has been "little traction" on the Robert trade front due largely to the fact that the White Sox have set an "understandably high" asking price.

Following the trade of outfielder Randy Arozarena from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Seattle Mariners late Thursday night, a strong case can be made that Robert is the best bat on the market ahead of Tuesday's MLB trade deadline.
