Taylor Becomes Free Agent After Clearing Mariners Waivers

Infielder/outfielder Samad Taylor cleared outright waivers and elected free agency after Seattle designated him for assignment to make room for Yosver Zulueta. The 27-year-old has a limited MLB track record (83 games, .205/.272/.260) but strong minor-league numbers and speed, with versatility across infield and outfield. With no 40-man spot and after previously being outrighted, he’ll seek minor-league opportunities as clubs assess his upside and defensive versatility.

"Mariners Make Trade for Samad Taylor, Adding Versatile Talent to Roster"

The Mariners have acquired infielder/outfielder Samad Taylor from the Royals in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations, as the Royals make room for Adam Frazier. Taylor, who made his MLB debut last year, brings defensive versatility and speed, having stolen eight bases without getting caught. With a strong performance in the minors, the Mariners hope he can bring some of that offense to the majors. The Mariners opened up a spot in last night’s trade and could give Taylor regular reps in Triple-A if he doesn’t secure a bench spot, while also having several options in the infield and outfield.

Samad Taylor has been recalled from Triple-A Omaha, and Nicky Lopez will play outfield for the first time in his professional career.
