Dodgers Face Competition From Multiple MLB Teams for Teoscar Hernández
The reigning World Series champions weigh re-signing Hernández or pursuing trade options as rival teams enter the bidding war.
- Teoscar Hernández, a key player in the Dodgers' 2024 World Series win, remains unsigned in free agency as he seeks a three-year deal worth $22–$24 million per season.
- The Dodgers are competing with several teams, including the Yankees, Phillies, Reds, Blue Jays, and Red Sox, to retain Hernández, with speculation growing as negotiations stall.
- Toronto and Boston have emerged as strong contenders, with the Blue Jays potentially seeking a reunion and the Red Sox needing to make roster adjustments to fit Hernández.
- The Dodgers are reportedly exploring alternative options, including potential trades for outfielders Luis Robert Jr. of the White Sox or Seiya Suzuki of the Cubs, should Hernández sign elsewhere.
- The uncertainty around Hernández’s decision has led the Dodgers to consider bolstering their lineup with other free agents or trade acquisitions to fill a potential gap in their outfield.
