SAN FRANCISCO —
Chris Taylor thought he was doing the right thing this offseason.
Coming off a couple underwhelming, injury-plagued, and frustratingly inconsistent campaigns, the team’s longtime super-utility man tried to get back to the basics this winter.
He attempted to rediscover his old potent swing.
Seven years removed from the major swing change he made early in his Dodgers career — one that turned the lightly-touted outfield prospect into an everyday player, a 2021 All-Star and the recipient of a $60 million contract before the 2022 season — Taylor tried to reverse-engineer a similar process this offseason.
