NS Los Angeles Dodgers is expected to reach an agreement with the flexible All-Star Chris Taylor shortly after Wednesday, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Taylor, 31, won her first All-Star pick with the Dodgers in 2021, hitting 0.254 with 20 home runs, 73 RBIs and 13 steals. He views most of his playing time as a plug-in and second-base centre-forward, but he also sees action in other off-court positions as well as the short lane and third post.
He received a qualified offer of $18.4 million in one year, but he turned it down to enter as a freelance agent.
Taylor made an impact in the post-season, hitting three home runs in the previous 11-2 win Atlanta Braves in Game 5 of the National Championship Series. His total of 13 bases in the game set a post-season Dodgers franchise record.
That’s some much-needed good news for the Dodgers, who have seen the star pitcher Max Scherzer And stop Corey Seager Leave for great deals through free agents.
After breaking into the majors with Seattle Mariners in 2014, Taylor was traded to the Dodgers in 2016. Over six seasons in Los Angeles, he scored 0.264.
