White Sox Acquire Will Robertson From Blue Jays

By Anthony Franco | July 10, 2025 at 9:50am CDT

July 10: The teams have announced the trade. Chicago sent cash back to Toronto in return for Robertson, who has been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte.

July 9: The Blue Jays are reportedly trading outfielder Will Robertson to the White Sox. The move, which has not been announced by either team, was first reported by @JeffreyCole2525 and confirmed by James Fegan of SoxMachine. Toronto designated Robertson for assignment over the weekend.

Chicago already has an opening on the 40-man roster after outrighting Vinny Capra. They’ll use the spot to take a flier on Robertson, a 27-year-old with three major league games under his belt. The Jays promoted the lefty-hitting outfielder in the middle of June. He was optioned back to Triple-A a little over a week later and DFA last week when Ryan Burr returned from the 60-day injured list.

A Creighton product, Robertson was Toronto’s fourth-round pick in 2019. He has never been a huge prospect, but he’s hitting well in his second season at the Triple-A level. Robertson has connected on 14 homers with a .292/.403/.578 slash line in 62 minor league games this year. He has taken walks at a massive 15.5% clip while striking out around a quarter of the time. The Jays have a fairly deep outfield and didn’t give Robertson an opportunity to see how much of that Triple-A production he could carry over against big league pitching. He has a bit of center field experience but fits better in a corner.

The White Sox could look to trade Luis Robert Jr., Andrew Benintendi and Mike Tauchman this month. Backup outfielders Austin Slater and Michael A. Taylor could also be traded or let go. They should be able to find a taker for Tauchman, who has taken the starting right field job behind a .297/.379/.459 showing. Robertson might begin his organizational tenure on optional assignment to Triple-A Charlotte but should be in line for decent playing time after the deadline.

        Probably cash… Could be a lottery ticket too… No, really. A Powerball lottery ticket.

    .982 OPS for Buffalo this year. Solid move, maybe they catch lightning in a bottle.

      Dude, you old.

      That was one of my wife’s favorite shows growing up. She’d wear the same white boots that Penny wore. I wish I’d have known her then.

    They are going to need a couple of outfielders to play in Charlotte in August and September, since they are likely to trade two of their major league outfielders. It beats some of the washed up veterans they were running through Charlotte in the past.

      Yes-Tauchman should be on the move….and Robert as a prorated cash dump (b/c JR will not/conveniently should not pick up 20mil club option. Buyer FO’s know that of JR when talking to Getz and someone gets high end reclamation project).

    Can someone explain to me why this is a trade and not a waiver claim? Isn’t it AL teams have first priority and Chicago has the worst record in the league? Does league no longer matter? Is Getz that worried about a Colorado claim?

      Believe there is a short period Toronto can work out a trade with anyone if WSox weren’t willing to give them something. If you recall LAD released former hyped prospect Cartaya-Twins traded them something b/c they knew he wouldn’t get to them in the waiver priority order.

    Of all the names listed as tradeable only one is doing good that is Tauchman.

    Luis Robert Jr., and Andrew Benintendi are sell low candidates that teams are not going to like to take on whatever is left on the contract. Although robert is in final year but way overpaid maybe a team will give him a shot but not going to bring back as much value as WS will hope

    meanwhile the backups are actually doing better than at least Robert
    Austin Slater and Michael A. Taylor — they may be most tradeable but not going to return much in value.
