It all started with an innocent column on ESPN, where the “perfect fit” for the Phillies was named as Luis Robert.
Robert, the 26-year-old center fielder for the Chicago White Sox, is under contract through 2027, giving the Phillies four potential postseason runs. His injury proneness is understandably worrisome, but his ceiling is tantalizing enough to see past the concerns...Philadelphia president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has never been afraid to deal top prospects, and good thing: It will take a steep haul to land Robert because so few impact bats are on the market.
