"Amid reports of the Dodgers having Hern ndez on the trade block, general manager Brandon Gomes downplayed the likelihood of the team parting with him, per Jack Harris of the L.A. Times: "That doesn't feel likely," Gomes added of the possibility of trading Hern ndez. "Obviously, you can never say never on those types of things. I know that's come up [in reports]. But that's not something we anticipate at all.""
"As the Dodgers look to fill an opening in their outfield, a different possibility that has surfaced was trading Hern ndez. Excluding deferred salary, Hern ndez has two years and north of $46 million remaining on his contract. His deal with the Dodgers included a $23 million signing bonus, $23.5 million in deferred salary, and $15 million team option for 2028 or a $6.5 million buyout. The Dodgers then owe $2.35 million to Hern ndez annually from 2030-2039."
Teoscar Hernández joined the Dodgers on a one-year contract to re-establish free-agent value, produced a strong season, and played a key role in the 2024 World Series win. He expressed a desire to stay and later signed a three-year deal after protracted free-agent negotiations. He contributed to the Dodgers' 2025 championship but regressed offensively and battled multiple injuries that season. Trade speculation emerged as the team considered outfield options, yet general manager Brandon Gomes downplayed the likelihood of a trade and manager Dave Roberts offered similar confidence in Hernández retaining a roster spot. Significant guaranteed and deferred money remains on his contract.
