TRADE BREAKING: Dodgers Predicted to Sign Three-Time Silver Slugger Winner to $54M Deal

Outfielder Teoscar Hernández bet on himself last winter.

Dodgers Predicted to Sign Three-Time Silver Slugger Winner to $54M Deal -  Newsweek

Instead of signing a multi-year contract, he settled for a one-year, $23.5 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. That gamble paid off handsomely.

Hernández won his third Silver Slugger Award while also helping LA win the World Series.

Now that the right-handed slugger is on the open market again, should they run it back in Hollywood for 2025 and beyond?

He proved to be a crucial run producer for the Dodgers throughout 2024.

He hit .272/.340/.501 with 33 home runs, 99 RBI and 84 runs scored in 652 plate appearances.

This performance also led to Hernández being named an All-Star for the second time in his career.

Things worked out so well that the front office is also prioritizing a reunion. “Teo obviously meant a ton to this team,” Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said, via MLB.com.

“You saw what was on the field but his impact in the clubhouse, the way he mentored younger guys, he’s a special guy on and off the field. “We’ll continue to have conversations with Teo. We love him, he knows that.

He’s a big part of what we did this year, so we’ll keep talking and see how things play out.”

That would be slightly below his market value projection, which Spotrac has at three years and $71 million.

If Hernández welcomes a bidding war between multiple teams, he could surpass that total compensation.

However, if he mostly cares about staying with the Dodgers, it’s possible they could sign the 32-year-old at a slight discount.
