""Oh no, I'm still playing," Taylor said. "Don't pull the cord on me yet, Vassegh. No, I'm still playing. I'm down here in Arizona working out. Um, you know, I... I don't know where it's going to be yet, obviously with free agency being the way it is, but, um, I will be playing again this coming season.""
"Taylor came to the Dodgers in 2016 from the Seattle Mariners via trade, and instantly added offense to the lineup. In his first full season with L.A., Taylor hit 21 home runs - which remains his career high - and posted an .850 OPS. He continued to post solid numbers with the Dodgers over the following eight seasons, even making the NL All-Star Team in 2021. Taylor won two World Series with the Dodgers and will get a ring for their win in 2025, and also has an NLCS MVP award to his name."
"The Angels signed Taylor after the Dodgers released him, but he barely played for the Halos due to injury. He first suffered a fracture his hand against the Athletics in June 2025, then re-aggravated the injury upon his return in July 2025. He made 30 total appearances for the Angels last season, hitting two home runs and driving in 10 runs while keeping a .599 OPS. The Angels lack depth in both the outfield and infield, so keeping a utility man like Taylor around could be to their benefit."
Chris Taylor has agreed to a contract with the Los Angeles Angels, with whether the deal is major- or minor-league unspecified. Taylor spent most of 2025 with the Angels after the Dodgers released him early in the regular season. Taylor stated in January that he intended to continue playing and was training in Arizona. Taylor joined the Dodgers in 2016 via trade from the Seattle Mariners and became an offensive contributor, totaling 108 home runs and 423 RBIs with Los Angeles. Taylor won two World Series, earned an NLCS MVP, and injuries limited him to 30 appearances for the Angels in 2025 with a .599 OPS.
