I'm really hoping they move Michael Taylor. He has been exactly what I expected, a replacement level hitter who plays a good CF. With Isbel hot as fire now, its time to plug him in and see if he can handle CF. Blanco has had an impressive season, but he's 28. Maybe give him a shot, idk but there is no point in Taylor taking up a spot on the 40 at this point. Soler's recent power surge is one of the better developments lately. I can see a team actually parting with a semi decent prospect for him now.
I'll be fairly surprised if Taylor is on this team in Toronto and yeah, I agree that Soler will get something now. It won't be much, but it'll be better than it would have been even a couple weeks ago. As for Blanco, yes, he's 28, but he didn't make his debut in the US until he was 25 and obviously lost last year, so he's older, but I wouldn't hold that against him like I would for some other who had been toiling for 8-10 years.

I am anticipating the Michael Taylor contract extension any day now
10 years, $124.2 million with mutual options for 2032, 2033 and 2034.
