Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward is a perfect trade target for the Cleveland Guardians.
Ward, 30, has put together a solid career since debuting in 2018. He’s a well-balanced hitter who can also hit for power when given the opportunity to do so. Ward has a slash line this season of .247/.324/.431 with an OPS of .755 which includes 11 doubles and 11 home runs.
He is also a right-handed hitter who has a .340 batting average and a .469 slugging percentage against left-handed pitchers this season. Another right-handed bat such as Ward would balance out Cleveland’s heavy lefty lineup which has been one of their weakness over the last few seasons.Ward is listed as a left fielder, but he has experience playing right field and a tiny bit of infield earlier in his career.
If the Guardians were to trade for Ward, they could easily slot him in as the everyday right fielder and continue with their outfield ofThere are many possible lineups that could be drawn up with Ward in them.

Adding a player of Ward’s talent could be the difference maker in a postseason appearance and winning a playoff series.
