White Sox Outfielder Michael A. Taylor Announces Retirement After 12 Seasons

On Sunday, Chicago White Sox outfielder Michael A. Taylor announced his retirement before the season finale against the Washington Nationals, reflecting emotionally on his last year.
Taylor decided a few months ago to retire to spend more time with his wife, Brianna, and their two young children after praying and discussing the choice.
The 12-year veteran finished with a.232 career average, 109 homers and 128 steals, winning a Gold Glove in 2021 and citing the Washington Nationals' 2019 World Series as his favorite memory.
Taylor said his playing decision is final and he hopes to pursue coaching eventually, while White Sox manager Will Venable praised him as the quiet leader who shaped team culture.
Taylor's retirement closes a journeyman arc that included Washington Nationals , Kansas City , Minnesota , Pittsburgh , and a February signing with the White Sox.
