MARINERS GET ANOTHER INFIELDER
The Seattle Mariners acquired infielder Samad Taylor from the Kansas City Royals for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
What does it give the Seattle Mariners
Taylor is not a high-profile name like Jorge Polanco, acquired recently by the Mariners from Minnesota. In fact, Taylor is not even guaranteed to crack the roster this year. His best asset is his speed, so he may be a good bench option.
What does it give the Kansas City Royals
Taylor did not seem to have a spot on the Royals roster heading into the 2024 season, so they decided to trade him and recoup a asset in the process. Kansas City's recent acquisition of veteran Adam Frazier likely sealed Taylor's fate.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact with this trade.
