Over the last month, the Philadelphia Phillies have been heavily linked in trade rumors to Chicago White Sox star outfielder Luis Robert Jr. They have been searching for outfield help and adding a big bat would be intriguing as well.

Robert is one of the best position players available at the MLB trade deadline. He also is a player who is young and has future contract control.

Those things make him a premium trade target. Robert is not going to come cheap, if he’s traded at all.

While the rumors have been loud surrounding the Phillies and the star slugger, it sounds like they’re about to die.

MLB insider Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic has now reported that the Phillies are not going to be trading for the 26-year-old outfielder.
