The Los Angeles Dodgers successfully re-signed utility player Kiké Hernández, a move that fans eagerly anticipated despite the addition of several star players. According to President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman, Hernández was the only option considered, emphasizing his importance to the team's flexibility on the field. As Opening Day nears, Hernandez has performed well in spring training, showcasing a .313 batting average. His ability to fill in at various positions will be crucial for the Dodgers, especially with injuries to other key players in the previous season.
"It wasn't something for us if we were not able to line up with Kiké, we were going to go, 'Oh, here's the next best option.' Like a lot of times you're targeting a need... In this case, it was Kiké or nothing."
"Good day overall and it's always good to get results even if it's spring training... I feel like I'm in a pretty good spot and I'm pretty close to being ready for the season."
