Does any other MLB team want Robles enough to offer a few bags of stale airline peanuts? Rizzo could not "flip" Robles at the trade deadline in 2021 and 2022. Is there a chance this year?
If he were released, somebody would give him a shot as a defensive replacement and an emergency outfielder, especially if the corner OFs were defensive liabilities, but I don't think anyone would give you anything of value back for him in trade. Maybe a team spots a specific flaw that they think they can fix to unleash the raw power more consistently and get him to hit the ball harder.
