Twins Trade for Michael A. Taylor

The Minnesota Twins made another trade Monday, acquiring CF Michael A. Taylor from the Kansas City Royals for relief prospects Steven Cruz and Evan Sisk. The Twins have made an effort to build depth on their roster for 2023, evidenced by their trade for Pablo López. Taylor leads all outfielders in Defensive Runs Saved since 2020 and joins an outfield group with Byron Buxton, Joey Gallo and Max Kepler. This outfield looks to be a special one defensively, with four to six viable options on the grass. What does this mean for Kepler? For the Twins outlook in 2023? Would I have done this trade? Let's break it all down!
