Mandatory Credit: Jonathan Hui-Imagn Images Chris Taylor will remain in Los Angeles as the Angels agreed to a one-year, $760,000 contract with the utility player, the team announced on Monday.
Taylor, 34, appeared in 28 games for the Dodgers this season, his 10th with the reigning World Series champions. He logged just 35 at-bats, however, and finished with seven hits — including two doubles — and two RBIs. The Dodgers released the veteran infielder/outfielder on May 18.
A fifth-round draft pick by Seattle in 2012, Taylor won World Series titles with the Dodgers in 2020 and 2024 while also earning an All-Star nod in 2021. Taylor also shared the National League Championship Series MVP in 2017 with teammate Justin Turner.
In his 12-year career, Taylor has batted .250 with 108 home runs and 433 RBIs.
A roster spot was created when the Angels optioned infielder/outfielder Kyren Paris, 23, to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
