Brayden Taylor - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Traded to Marlins The Marlins acquired Taylor, Adrian Santana and Jacob Kisting from the Rays on Monday in exchange for Liam Hicks, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Taylor is the most well-regarded of the three prospects headed to Miami. A first-round selection in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, Taylor had a terrible 2025 campaign but has bounced back nicely in 2026, slashing .284/.384/.513 with 17 home runs, 20 stolen bases and a 51:87 BB:K over 88 games with Double-A Montgomery. The 24-year-old has mostly played third base in pro ball, but he has experience at second base and shortstop, as well.

Promoted to Double-A Taylor was promoted from High-A Bowling Green to Double-A Montgomery on Tuesday.

Impact The only real knock on Taylor is that he was old (22) for the level (High-A) he was at prior to this promotion. Taylor, the No. 19 overall pick in 2023, slashed .271/.391/.516 with 14 home runs, 26 steals and a 24.4 percent strikeout rate in 83 games for the Hot Rods. He saw 41 starts at shortstop, 31 starts at third base and six starts at the keystone. Third base is his most likely long-term home.
