The Los Angeles Dodgers made a surprising roster decision by releasing Chris Taylor, a crucial player for the team over the past decade, alongside Austin Barnes being designated for assignment. Taylor, who struggled this season with a low batting average, was celebrated by President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman for his professionalism and work ethic. Despite the changes, Friedman expressed hope that Taylor could return to the organization in the future, acknowledging his impact and dedication over ten seasons with the Dodgers.
He is the consummate pro, the way he did a trust fall when he got here... He's one of the toughest guys I've ever been around.
The decision to part ways with a longtime player like Taylor was difficult, but he hopes the utility man returns to the ballclub in a different capacity.
