The Dodgers originally obtained Taylor in a 2016 trade with the Seattle Mariners that sent pitcher Zach Lee to the Pacific Northwest. Whereas Taylor enjoyed a successful nine-year run in Los Angeles, Lee never appeared in the majors with the Mariners and hasn't pitched professionally since 2022.

Taylor, 34, came to the Dodgers in a 2016 trade with the Seattle Mariners for right-hander Zach Lee in a swap of underperforming players. But a swing adjustment to supply more power, and the addition of outfield play, turned him into a valuable contributor.

Taylor, who played all three outfield spots and second base this season, is owed $13,435,484 from a four-year, $60 million contract he agreed to ahead of the 2022 season.
