Imagine being selected as a first-round pick, then getting traded by three teams in less than three years. @tay_tram5 is far from your average MLB journeyman. He’s a serious left-handed barrel getter, with a bat and skill set that several teams have coveted over the past few seasons.
I’ve always believed athletes with physical tools like Taylor could be the next Max Muncy if given the right opportunity. He makes his 2026 season debut this weekend against his former team in Seattle — go get ’em!!
Full interview dropping 🔜 on Substack. Make sure to follow the Black Baseball Mixtape Crew all season long!

Probably the first and last time @brice.matthews will allow me to interview him 😂. This guy is putting the south on with his soul food style of play - do not sleep on him!

Happy Opening Day and congratulations to @brice.matthews for making the #astros opening day roster! This spring, we caught up with the Astros second baseman about his journey from first-round pick to a Major League superutility player. Similar to his teammate, Cam Smith, Brice is seizing the opportunity by using his pure athletic ability and strong mental makeup to adapt to multiple positions. Excited to see him mash this season!
Shout out to @tay_tram5@texasbrigadebaseball@prosportplex and @texasprospects for hosting this awesome camp for local youth!

First #wbc in the books! What better place to host this event than one of the friendliest and most diverse cities in America?

Is this the Blackest #wbc ever? Great Britain rosters the most North American born Afro players in the tournament. Fun fact - baseball used to be the 4th leading industry in the African American Community during the early 20th century. Sure, I’d love to see more of us on Team USA’s roster - but I’m equally excited to see us represented in the classic, regardless of the team/nation.
For more, check out more takes from the crew at @blackbaseballmixtape ! See you at the WBC!

“Revenge is a dish best served cold.” Astros outfielder @tay_tram5 describes how it feels to play against his former teammates, staying cool under pressure, and turning every setback into a setup for success.
