Luis Robert Jr. is unlikely to be traded going into the 2024 season.

Fantasy Impact

White Sox GM Chris Getz previously stated that nobody was untouchable. And while that may technically still be true, it does seem like Robert would be the last player on the Sox to be traded. Getz said that he would have "a tough time seeing him wearing another uniform next year." The 26-year-old had a great season in 2023 with 38 HRs, 20 SBs, and a .857 OPS+ and should continue to be a fantasy star if he stays healthy.
