EDGE Analysis

Taylor is one of six Boston prospects who will be protected from the Rule 5 draft following this latest move. He posted a 2-5 record with a 3.79 ERA and 37 strikeouts over 33 relief appearances (35.2 innings) with Double-A Portland in 2018 and should be in line to begin the 2019 campaign with Pawtucket.
