Updating a previous report, Taylor declined his outright assignment to Triple-A Charlotte and is now a minor-league free agent, Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com reports. Rather than head back to Charlotte, Taylor, 28, has opted to seek an opportunity elsewhere. Although he's hit just .167/.254/.216 in parts of four seasons at the major league level, Taylor has fared well at Triple-A (.278/.369/.441) and should have little trouble latching on as organizational depth with another club.
