## Resource

The White Sox pulled off a savvy trade this offseason, sending Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets in exchange for Luisangel Acuna and Truman Pauley. While Robert’s $20M contract and injury-riddled season (46 games missed, zero wins above replacement) have left the Mets stuck with a costly liability, the Sox are cashing in on a risky gamble. Acuna, still developing at 24, and Pauley, a Single-A pitcher with a higher ERA than last year, aren’t elite yet—but they’re cheap, young, and under team control. For now, the Sox are winning: shedding a massive contract while acquiring future assets without the burden of a star who’s barely played. The Mets? They’re left wondering where it all went wrong.
