In mid-May, the Los Angeles Dodgers released Chris Taylor, their longest-tenured position player. Taylor, who had a decade-long career with the team, faced performance decline before his release, hitting .222/.307/.369 and losing playing time. Despite the emotional farewell, Taylor is excited for his fresh start with the Los Angeles Angels, where he hopes to turn the page in his career. He enjoyed notable achievements with the Dodgers, including being an All-Star in 2021 and winning two World Series titles.
"It was emotional," Taylor said of his Dodgers departure. "I've been on the Dodgers for nine years, but I do believe it was time for me."
Taylor hit just .222/.307/.369 and lost playing time each season, ultimately having just 35 plate appearances on the season.
