When Taylor Trammell came over from San Diego in the summer of 2020, he was supposed to be the darling of the deal. Sure, he had lost some prospect shine from his Cincy days, as Kate noted in her initial profile of him when he came over. Even still, there was plenty of hype around his acquisition and surprise that the M’s were able to acquire him for Austin Nola.
Fast-forward to 2022 and Trammell is an afterthought among the fanbase. The M’s outfield is stacked with proven producers (Jesse Winker, Mitch Haniger) and talented youngsters (Jarred Kelenic, Julio Rodríguez, Kyle Lewis) that seemingly squeeze Trammell out of the mix.
