Taylor Ward Wins Arbitration Case Versus Angels
10 months agoLos Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward has won his arbitration case with the team, securing a $4.8 million salary for 2024, which is $500,ooo more than the team initially filed for him. The 30-year-old had another productive season in 2023, posting a 107 wRC+ with a .253 batting average and 14 home runs. This marked the third consecutive year where Ward achieved at least a 100 wRC+, solidifying his status as one of the team's better offensive producers. Ward is expected to continue in the outfield alongside Mike Trout and Mickey Moniak, and he should be ready for Opening Day after undergoing surgery in August for multiple facial fractures sustained from being hit in the face by a pitch.
