"Hernandez, 33, didn't quite meet expectations at the plate in 2025, posting a .738 OPS just one season after he had a career-best 4.3 WAR with a career-high 33 home runs and made his second All-Star Game. The Dodgers, if they are to trade him, would look for a centerfielder and move Andy Pages into right field."
"Hernandez played defense well below average in 2025, ranking in the bottom six percent of MLB with a minus-9 fielding run value and in the bottom three percent with a minus-9 outs above average. Moving Pages into right and securing a strong defensive center fielder would be a huge boost for the Dodgers, who finished 2025 with a collective minus-1 fielding run value."
The Dodgers are exploring the possibility of trading right fielder Teoscar Hernandez to address outfield defense. Hernandez produced a .738 OPS in 2025 after a 2024 season with 4.3 WAR, 33 home runs and an All-Star appearance. Defensive metrics were poor in 2025, with Hernandez at minus-9 fielding runs and minus-9 outs above average. Shifting Andy Pages to right and acquiring a strong defensive center fielder would raise the club's overall defense; the team finished 2025 with a collective minus-1 fielding run value. Tommy Edman is likely unavailable early due to ankle surgery. Possible trade targets include Jarren Duran and Byron Buxton.
