Why am I retaining him?  Because his career fWAR/162 is 4.35 - including his god awful 2024 and other long stretches where he hasn't look like a big leaguer. He is just reaching his prime years.  He's unlikely to ever give you 145+ games, but he doesn't need to do that to easily be worth $20M in today's game. He's a game changing talent that is obviously extremely streaky, but if the streak comes early in 2025 (or 26), we're sitting on the most sought after position player at the deadline.  And if you want to assume Robert just is what he is, he's still a very good CF with a lot of pop, and the ability to carry a team for weeks if he gets hot.  On an actual contender with legitimate protection around him, I am certain he would be much closer to the 23 version than 24. 

I don’t question any of that. I only question what good is Robert in Chicago in whatever form he takes. We’re not looking at competing any year soon. I’d be jumping at any chance to get younger right now.
