On a nondescript Sunday in June 2016, the Los Angeles Dodgers parted with former top pitching prospect Zach Lee by trading him to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for Chris Taylor. He was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City and bounced on and off the MLB roster that year.
Taylor began the 2017 season with Oklahoma City but was with the Dodgers by the middle of April and has been a mainstay ever since. Once a light-hitting utility man, Taylor overhauled his swing to become as much of a treat at the plate as he is versatile in the field.
