As Major League Baseball confronts a pandemic that is making another spike around several cities in the country, the Los Angeles Dodgers continue to conduct business off the field in securing their fourth-round pick Carson Taylor to a new contract, according to Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline.
Following the trend set in signing their first- and fifth-round picks, the Dodgers were able to sign Taylor below his pick’s slot value ($434,300). He signed for $400,000.
A catcher from Virginia Tech, Taylor was the 130th overall selection in the 2020 MLB Draft. He was off to a torrid start in his sophomore campaign before the season was shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
