Is there a flight currently scheduled MIA-SJU that isn't on the 737MAX? If so, I would personally try to be proactive and change to that or take a refund and book another carrier...
I agree with Ryan and tylerdurdan on this. You're actually lucky, in having a large number of still reasonably priced available options on this routing. I haven't booked my planned holiday trip yet, because AA swapped in the MAX last week, and it's the only option.
Personally, in your situation, I'd proactively rebook on one of these for December 22nd:
PHX: Departs 10:55 AM
SJU: Arrives 11:56 PM
Flight Time: 10h 1m
PHX - PHL AA 629 321-Airbus A321
PHL - SJU AA 1529 321-Airbus A321
Or:
PHX: Departs 11:56 AM
SJU: Arrives 11:22 PM
Flight Time: 8h 26m
PHX - DFW AA 1557 32Q-Airbus A321neo
DFW - SJU AA 2481 321-Airbus A321
Or the First Flight in on December 23rd:
PHX: Departs 12:40 AM
SJU: Arrives 1:05 PM
Flight Time: 9h 25m
PHX - PHL AA 782 321-Airbus A321
PHL - SJU AA 1496 333-Airbus A330
