Part 4/8:
Robert is currently signed to a reasonable contract, earning $15 million this year, which is relatively modest in today’s MLB financial landscape. His contract includes club options for 2026 and 2027 at $20 million each, offering the Mets flexibility. This detail adds further intrigue to the potential trade, as it aligns with the Mets’ financial framework and allows them to pivot if Robert doesn’t perform as expected.
