Michael A. Taylor Traded to Twins from Royals for 2 Pitching Prospects
The Minnesota Twins acquired veteran outfielder Michael A. Taylor from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for left-hander Evan Sisk and right-hander Steven Cruz on Monday.
ESPN's Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel and MLB.com's Anne Rogers initially reported the details of the deal.
The move comes days after Minnesota landed starting pitcher Pablo López in a deal that sent reigning American League batting champion Luis Arraez to the Miami Marlins.
Taylor made 124 appearances for Kansas City in 2022. He finished with a .254 average and a .313 on-base percentage. His 90 OPS+ was the second-highest of his career, per Baseball Reference.
