The Los Angeles Dodgers released utility player Chris Taylor after 10 seasons to streamline their roster for success in the upcoming October playoffs. With a crowded clubhouse, President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman noted that Taylor's limited playing time was not conducive to his performance. Despite a decline in offense, Taylor remains a valuable asset due to his versatility and leadership. His release follows a similar decision regarding catcher Austin Barnes, marking a strategic shift as the Dodgers prioritize both immediate needs and future talent development.
The decision to release Taylor came just days after the team parted ways with another longtime veteran in Austin Barnes.
I know he's looking forward to trying getting an opportunity to play more often, and he's got a chip on his shoulder.
