The Dodgers will officially have to try to work on a deal with Chris Taylor. The utility man was given the qualifying offer after the 2021 season, which would have been worth $18.4 million if he had chosen to accept it.
But according to Jon Heyman, that offer will be denied by Taylor and his agent. A report had emerged last week from Heyman that Taylor would not be accepting. The Dodgers offering it to him was an easy choice, given his versatility and value to their team over the last few seasons.
