""Hernández's name is coming up in trade conversations, according to league sources," The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Patrick Mooney reported. "The Dodgers view a deal as unlikely, but the idea of it, at least, is not without logic.""

Who's going to throw those sunflower seeds? I mean, yeah, sure, the Dodger Stadium cleaning crew would be happy about it, less work for them.""
""It'd also mean more work for the Dodgers' lineup, because who's going to mash against lefties? Who's going to bring you that joy? That billion dollar megawatt smile? To me, the thought of trading Teoscar Hernandez was a non-starter. It would have been a massive mistake if the Dodgers had done that because of how good he is in the postseason, the role he plays.""

Hernandez produced 25 home runs and 89 RBIs in 2025, both ranking third on the Dodgers, and remains one of the team's top right-handed power bats.
