"With his second child born and entering his 12th season at 34, Hernandez is seemingly looking for a permanent residence to settle down with his wife, Mariana, and he found one in Arizona. According to Catherine Reagor of AZ Central, Hernandez purchased a 5,181-square-foot home in Arcadia, a suburb of metro Phoenix. Hernandez bought the home for $5.375 million in cash, below the list price of $5.85 million."
"His numbers are not great, leveling out to around league average, but his positional flexibility, leadership, and energy provide value beyond the numbers. He can play in the outfield and infield, while serving as a quality platoon option against pitching matchups where he has the advantage."
"The home's location will give Hernandez easy access to the Dodgers' Spring Training facilities in Glendale at Camelback Ranch. In his new home, Hernandez will continue his recovery from elbow surgery, which he underwent over the offseason. He missed the World Baseball Classic with Puerto Rico due to the injury, but he has still supported the team and helped recruit players."
