What Happened in 2016: Acquired from the Mariners in June for former 1st-round pick Zach Lee and spent most of his time with the OKC Dodgers.
Chris Taylor had fallen a bit out of favor in Seattle. He was a former top prospect in the organization and, at one point, the future at shortstop for the Mariners. Things didn’t go according to plan and the M’s sent him to the Dodgers for another prospect who had fallen out of favor in Lee.
It was a necessary trade for both teams.
