The MLB off-season has been filled with twists and turns at every corner. But the Minnesota twins are the beneficiaries of one of the most dramatic free agencies in recent history. The Twins picked up Carlos Correa on a 6-year $200 million deal. This was after the superstar shortstop saw two other deals collapse. 

The Twins saw an opportunity to bring back a player who was fantastic for them in 2022 and they pounced. But the Minnesota-based team is not done making moves. They have reportedly agreed to a trade that will get them a World Series-winning center-fielder.

The Minnesota Twins have been making some good sneaky moves this off-season, and they just made one more. The Twins are reportedly bringing in Michael A. Taylor through a trade with the Kansas City Royals. Jeff Passan reported the news via a tweet to the delight of many Twins fans. Taylor is fantastic defensively and took home a Gold Glove award in 2021. He also played a part in the Washington Nationals winning the World Series in 2019.

In the tweet, Passan said, “The Minnesota Twins are acquiring centerfielder Michael A. Taylor in a trade with the Kansas City Royals, sources tell me and @kileymcd”. It will be interesting to see how Taylor fits into the Twins’ plans.
