Hernández's new contract with the Dodgers totals $81 million, but he chose to re-sign despite higher offers from other teams, highlighting loyalty over money.
"For me, money wasn't an issue," Hernández said, emphasizing that he prioritized familiarity and comfort with the Dodgers over potential financial gains.
The contract includes significant deferrals, meaning Hernández's average annual earnings against the luxury tax will be reduced compared to a straightforward deal.
The specifics of Hernández's contract include a $23 million signing bonus, structured payments, and a buyout option worth $6.5 million.
