""There's a chance it happens," Fabian Ardaya wrote for The Athletic. "Andy Pages' glove (and arm) would certainly be maximized in right field, as good as he was in center field last year. Hernández's gaffes -particularly on balls down the line - wouldn't be as impactful, as the balls that turned into triples in right likely would be doubles in left.""
"Ardaya added that Hernandez's status as a member of the Dodgers could hinge on what happens with free agents Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger. The Dodgers are reportedly listening to offers on Hernandez, but as teams are still courting both Tucker and Bellinger - two of MLB's top free agents this offseason - the Dodgers might have to wait before having any serious talks regarding Hernandez."
Teoscar Hernandez is a fan-favorite right fielder and a consistently clutch postseason hitter who might not be on the Dodgers' roster by the start of spring training. Hernandez is an above-average hitter and an average-at-best outfield defender. A move from right to left field could mitigate defensive lapses, converting some triples into doubles. Andy Pages' glove and arm would be maximized in right field. Hernandez's roster status could hinge on what the Dodgers do with free agents Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger. The Dodgers are reportedly listening to offers on Hernandez but may delay serious trade talks while teams pursue Tucker and Bellinger.
