One former World Collection champion was not in a position to replicate his success elsewhere within the Nationwide League.
Robert Murray of FanSided reported Sunday that the Pittsburgh Pirates have positioned outfielder Michael A. Taylor on outright waivers. Consequently, Taylor can now be claimed by every other staff in Main League Baseball.
Taylor, 33, was a World Collection champion in 2019 with the Washington Nationals. Whereas he’s identified for his defensive abilities (profitable a Gold Glove and a Fielding Bible Award in 2021), the cons with Taylor had begun to far outweigh the professionals in Pittsburgh. The righty hitter was right down to profession lows this 12 months with a .194 batting common and a .540 OPS.
Now 62-68, the Pirates have utterly light within the NL wild-card race and now sit on the very backside of their division as effectively. Pittsburgh is going through another key questions proper now, however one particular is that Taylor will now not be on the staff.
