Luis Robert Jr. on waivers by Mets
Sports
— Aug 29, 2026
The New York Mets placed outfielder Luis Robert Jr. on outright waivers, giving a 48-hour window for another team to claim him and assume about $5 million guaranteed (roughly $3 million in 2026 salary plus a $2 million buyout) with a $20 million club option for 2027; if unclaimed, he remains with the Mets and could be postseason-eligible for a claiming team if done by Sept. 1. The move is framed as a cost-cutting measure by the Mets amid injury history and uneven production, though Robert has shown a burst of strong performance recently and remains an attractive but uncertain asset.

The NFU warns harvests could be difficult and urges flexible water abstraction, with a looming hosepipe ban and a National Drought Group declaration across eight regions signaling mounting supply pressures.
