Will get 'runway' from White Sox White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Wednesday that Acuna will be given "runway to show off his talent, ability, and ceiling," Brooke Fletcher of the Chicago Sports Network re...

Impact Acuna is the key piece acquired from the Mets in a trade that sent Luis Robert to New York. Getz's words suggest the White Sox plan to play Acuna every day in 2026, though it's unclear if it will be at one or a variety of positions. Acuna is primarily an infielder, but he's played lots of center field, as well, and it's possible he could slide into that spot as Robert's replacement. He's slashed only .248/.299/.341 so far at the big-league level, but Acuna is 16-for-18 in stolen base attempts in limited time, and it's in the speed department where he could be a fantasy asset in 2026. Acuna will turn 24 in March.

Dealt to White Sox The Mets traded Acuna and Truman Pauley to the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Luis Robert, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Acuna opened 2025 as the Mets' starting second baseman but gradually saw his playing time disappear while slashing .234/.293/.274 over 193 plate appearances. Moving to the White Sox will help his chances of sticking around in the big leagues, though he'll still face some competition for playing time at the keystone from Chase Meidroth and Lenyn Sosa.

Soto's milestone homer leads Mets past Nationals 12-6

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • Associated Press

Rejoins big club The Mets recalled Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Impact Acuna, who has seen the vast majority of his playing time at second base with the big club this season, is expected to occupy a bench role in September. The 23-year-old righty hitter hit .303 with zero home runs and eight steals in 28 games at Triple-A and has batted .239 with zero home runs and 12 steals in 175 plate appearances with the Mets in 2025.

Returns to Triple-A The Mets optioned Acuna to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Impact Acuna was up with the big club for just one day, after the Mets designated him as their 27th man for Sunday's 7-3 win over the Mariners in the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pa. He played second base in the final two innings of the game but didn't receive a plate appearance.

Summoned from minor leagues The Mets recalled Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Sunday's game against the Mariners in Williamsport, Pa.

Impact New York is designating Acuna as its 27th man for the 2025 MLB Little League Classic, so he'll most likely head back to Syracuse once the contest in Williamsport is completed. Acuna isn't in the lineup for Sunday's contest but will provide the Mets with added depth in the infield.

Sent down to Triple-A The Mets optioned Acuna to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Impact To make room for trade acquisition Cedric Mullins, Acuna was sent packing. The 23-year-old Acuna was hardly playing and should benefit from more consistent at-bats in the minors. Acuna figures to be back up to provide bench depth when rosters expand to 28 players Sept. 1, if not sooner.

JULY 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Recalled from Triple-A The Mets recalled Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Impact Acuna slashed .241/.293/.283 with 11 steals in 65 games for the Mets before being sent down last month. He will offer a bit more versatility than Travis Jankowski, whose roster spot he is taking, but Acuna is unlikely to find himself in the lineup on a regular basis.
