Robert is a 2020 AL Gold Glove winner and a 2023 AL Silver Slugger.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI do (think he\u2019ll get traded this year),\u201d MLB insider Bob Nightengale recently said to Doug McKain on Dodgers Dougout Live. \u201cHe\u2019s got two options years at $20 million a piece. They think they can trade him easily. There is way to get top value for him, they need him to stay healthy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Although Los Angeles could use a stronger center fielder, Nightengale believes the Dodgers do not need Robert. The 27-year-old has seen a progressive decline in his offensive numbers every season since 2021.<\/p>\n<p>However, he acknowledges that center fielders are scarce in the trade market. Therefore, Robert might be one of the few options the Dodgers will have.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Dodgers don\u2019t need him right now. Andy Pages has been kind of a rollercoaster. We\u2019ll see what happens,\u201d Nightengale said to McKain. \u201cThere\u2019s so few center fielders out there I think teams will say, \u2018You know what, if you\u2019re gonna trade him, we\u2019re gonna listen.\u2019 But he hasn\u2019t lived up to projections or expectations now in a couple years.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Robert is currently slashing .151\/.267\/.260 through the first 21 games of the season, which is worse than Pages\u2019 .179\/.286\/.328 slash line. However, Robert is a better defender and has proven to be an All-Star caliber player.<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers may need to look into a change in center field.
