Good morning, Chicago.

Luis Robert Jr. briefly took up the role of a general manager when the topic of trade talks came up at Rate Field.

“I think right now, as my season is going, I don’t think anybody is going to take a chance on me,” Robert said through an interpreter in a lighthearted moment.

Robert’s mind isn’t on any of those conversations: “I just focus on trying to get better. I can’t think of anything else.”

His name had been mentioned in trade speculation during the offseason. The chatter hasn’t died down much in the regular season, even though the White Sox center fielder is off to a slow start. He entered Tuesday slashing .186/.281/.308 with five home runs and 17 RBIs in 44 games.
