Christopher Taylor: Everything you need to know

Taylor signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Taylor was with the Angels for spring training but was unsuccessful in making the team's Opening Day roster. He initially opted out of his contract March 20, but the veteran outfielder will return to the organization and likely play for Triple-A Salt Lake. Taylor appeared in 58 regular-season games between the Angels and Dodgers in 2025 and would be in line for a major-league call-up if the Angels require additional depth in the outfield.

Taylor opted out of his contract with the Angels on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Taylor signed an NRI deal with the Halos in February, but after being informed he wouldn't make the big-league roster, he opted out of the deal. The veteran utility player will hit the open market once again, where he should generate some interest. Taylor went 9-for-39 (.231) with one home run and a 10:11 BB:K during spring training.

Taylor signed a contract with the Angels on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. No details of the deal are currently known, but presumably it's a short-term contract that gives Taylor a good chance of starting the campaign on the big-league roster. He ended the 2025 season with the Angels and hit .179 with two homers and 10 RBI across only 90 plate appearances with the club. Taylor will likely be in a reserve role, but he could get several starts per week due to his ability to play all three outfield spots as well as second and third base.
