The Los Angeles Dodgers signed infielder/outfielder Kiké Hernández to a one-year deal valued at $6.5 million. To accommodate him on the 40-man roster, they moved pitcher Gavin Stone to the 60-day injured list due to Tommy John Surgery. Despite a challenging season with a .654 OPS in 126 games, Hernández's significant postseason performance, including a vital homer in the NLDS, showcased his impact. With strong praise from the club's president for his leadership, he looks to improve further as he enters his ninth season with the Dodgers.
In 126 games for the Dodgers last season, Hernández had a .654 OPS with 12 homers and 42 RBI while posting a 1.3 bWAR.
Andrew Friedman praised Hernandez's leadership in the playoffs and noted the impact he made on the club during the championship run.
