Taylor to the Twins in exchange for a pair of minor league pitchers. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JeffPassan\/status\/1617672591321468928\" target=\"_blank\">per multiple reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p displaynav=\"true\" class=\"mg-t-b-20 ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt88 mg-t-b-20 article-content\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\">Taylor, who turns 32 in March, is coming to the end of one of the better seasons of his nine-year career. 254 batting average, .670 OPS, and hit nine home runs in 43 games. <\/p>\n<p displaynav=\"true\" class=\"mg-t-b-20 ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt88 mg-t-b-20 article-content\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\">However, Taylor&#8217;s main selling point is defense. He recorded the most outs (17) above the average of any outfielder in his 2021 season and helped win his Gold Glove Award. He&#8217;s his ninth-best all-outfielder average over the past five seasons (34). <\/p>\n<p displaynav=\"true\" class=\"mg-t-b-20 ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt88 mg-t-b-20 article-content\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\">Taylor is expected to become the Twins&#8217; fourth outfielder, joining Byron Buxton, Max Kepler and Joey Gallo. Minnesota has rocked its lineup this offseason, signing Carlos Correa, Christian Vazquez and Gallo, and last week he sent his AL batting his champions for 2022. <u>Luis Ares<\/u> Marlins as a starting pitcher <u>Pablo Lopez<\/u>. <\/p>\n<p displaynav=\"true\" class=\"mg-t-b-20 ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt88 mg-t-b-20 article-content\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\">The Royals will get 25-year-old lefty Evan Sisk and 23-year-old righty Stephen Cruz in exchange for Taylor. <\/p>\n<p displaynav=\"true\" class=\"mg-t-b-20 ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt88 mg-t-b-20 article-content\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\"><strong>FOX Sports Top Stories:<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr class=\"story-section-divider\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\"\/>\n<div class=\"story-favorites-section-add\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\">\n<div class=\"logo-container\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/b.fssta.com\/uploads\/application\/leagues\/logos\/MLB.vresize.160.160.medium.0.png\" alt=\"major league\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" class=\"team-logo\"\/><\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"ff-gb fs-20 bold\">Get more from Major League Baseball<\/span> <span class=\"ff-h fs-14 opac-55 lh-1pt43 center\">Follow your favorites to stay informed about games, news and more<\/span> <button data-favorite-uri=\"league:baseball\/mlb\/league\/1\" data-action-location=\"article favorite\" data-favorite-text=\"FOLLOW\" data-remove-text=\"FOLLOWING\" aria-label=\"Follow Button\" class=\"button-favorite center flex pointer fs-14\"><span class=\"favorite-star\"\/> <span class=\"favorite-text\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<hr class=\"story-section-divider\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\"\/>\n<hr class=\"story-section-divider\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\"\/>  <!----> <!----><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiWGh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZveHNwb3J0cy5jb20vc3Rvcmllcy9tbGIvdHdpbnMtcmVwb3J0ZWRseS10cmFkZS1mb3Itcm95YWxzLW1pY2hhZWwtYS10YXlsb3LSAVhodHRwczovL2FtcC5mb3hzcG9ydHMuY29tL3N0b3JpZXMvbWxiL3R3aW5zLXJlcG9ydGVkbHktdHJhZGUtZm9yLXJveWFscy1taWNoYWVsLWEtdGF5bG9y?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] major league 3 minutes ago Days after trading one of the best bats, the Twins are looking to acquire one of baseball&#8217;s best defensive<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10391,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-sports","two-columns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MichaelTaylor.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
