Diamondbacks Reportedly Agree To Sign Ben Taylor

By Jeff Todd | April 11, 2019 at 8:35pm CDT

The Diamondbacks have reportedly agreed to terms on a minor-league deal with right-hander Ben Taylor, according to the Roster Roundup Twitter account (link). Taylor was released recently by the Indians.

Claimed by the Indians last February, Taylor was cut loose after he was knocked around in two innings this spring. The club evidently did not desire to keep him in their system after bumping him from the 40-man roster. Taylor had undergone hip surgery late last season, according to his own Twitter account.

While the results haven’t been there for Taylor in his limited MLB opportunities, he has run up 26 strikeouts against ten walks in 23 1/3 big-league frames. That has come despite an uninspiring 8.4% swinging-strike rate, though Taylor has shown an ability to get Ks in the upper minors. In 70 2/3 total Triple-A frames, he owns a 2.55 ERA with 10.4 K/9 and 1.8 BB/9.

      If it’s worth anything Taylor can grow a awesome mustache.

    What kind of website declines attribution? There’s a story here journalists! What’s their agenda? Who are they? Are they backed by the Russians? Inquiring minds want to know…..

    The preceding was a lame joke!

      I know the source they’re speaking of – keeps track of all roster moves across baseball, it’s actually an impressive source of information. I won’t name them out of respect but I can vouch for them. I would guess they have a baseball insider source supplying them with their data.

    When I make up stuff, I decline attribution. And for the record, I didn’t say this.

    Good for Taylor. This was a second time outright, so I believe he was able to/probably did elect free agency. Not sure why that hasn’t been pointed out in any of the various MLBTR writeups.

      So far as I can tell he was not previously outrighted. He was DFA’ed by the Red Sox but claimed by Cleveland.

        He was DFA’d by Cleveland March 29th last year, cleared April 2 (just a bit more than a month after they claimed him), only to be re added to the roster a month after he had cleared. You guys had a post about it (gave him second billing to Abraham Almonte) and it’s on his transaction page.
