Twins trade for Royals' Michael A. Taylor

The Twins continue to shake up their starting lineup, trading for Royals outfielder Michael A. Taylor, one of baseball's best defenders.

Michael A. Taylor - Traded to Minnesota Taylor was traded Wednesday from the Royals to the Twins, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. In return, the Royals will receive left-handed pitching prospect Evan Sisk and right-hand...

Impact Taylor has been the subject of trade rumors for most of the winter, and he will stay in the division with the trade. In 124 games last season, the 31-year-old hit nine homers with four steals while slashing .254/.313/.357 for the Royals. Taylor could get a strong amount of playing time with the Twins, but there isn't much fantasy upside in his right-handed bat.

Byron Chourio - Traded to Minnesota Chourio, Pablo Lopez and Jose Salas were traded to Minnesota from Miami for Luis Arraez on Friday.

Impact Chourio had a strong professional debut in the Dominican Summer League by hitting .344 (63-for-183) with one home run, 19 stolen bases, a .429 on-base percentage and an .838 OPS in 51 games. At age 17, he's a lottery ticket throw-in for the big trade. We'll need to see if he can keep up this success when he moves to to the U.S, though his 11.5 percent walk rate and 12.4 percent strikeout rate are promising.

Bailey Ober - Could begin season in minors Ober could begin the season at Triple-A St. Paul following the Twins' addition of Pablo Lopez, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's also possible the Twins could opt for a six-man rotation, something which might appeal to them as Kenta Maeda (elbow) works his way back from Tommy John surgery. Ober hasn't been a bastion of health himself but has pitched well when on the mound, including last season when he held a 3.21 ERA over 11 starts for Minnesota.
