To add to all of that, contenders WANTED him on their teams. That alone should show you what other teams think of his worth.
In two years, if they traded him, Sox fans would want him back.
Good for Getz holding firm to their price and not dropping it. #WhiteSox
I really don’t understand the gripes from #WhiteSox fans about keeping Luis Robert. He is hitting .352 with 12 RBI and 6 SB since July 1.
Clearly the asking price wasn’t there - so why give up a piece of your future (yes future) for prospects you weren’t happy with.
Rather boring deadline on both sides of Chicago, with neither team making trades that impact their future.
I will say this though - Luis Robert Jr. will have his option picked up and the #Cubs will go all in on a Tucker extension. #WhiteSox

Luis Robert Jr. is really gaining traction - exactly what the #WhiteSox wanted.
Three contenders, with relatively solid farm systems are now seemingly in a bidding war.
Source: The #Cubs were expecting the market to be expensive, but this is even more than they were prepared for.
I would not expect any big deals today from their end, rather more Soroka type additions.
The Toronto Blue Jays are finalizing a trade to acquire right-hander Shane Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians, sources tell ESPN. The Jays have been looking for another starter, and they get one in the former AL Cy Young winner. On the news: @jonmorosi.
