"For me, doing things to help others through what I went through, to me it's a blessing. I'm at a point in my career where doing that makes me feel good about myself and the things that I went through. I thank God that I went through that and now I have the power to show others to not let down, to not feel down, to keep going. Because this is not easy."
"I know those guys are going to be the future for this team and they play my position. A lot of people ask me, 'You don't worry about that?' No, I don't care. I don't think about that. I just want the people around me to be good, my teammates to be great and everybody to be good."
The Los Angeles Dodgers entered 2025 with the oldest roster in MLB, averaging about 31 years old. Teoscar Hernández, who turned 33 in October, was older than the team average. Hernández struggled offensively and showed defensive lapses while battling injuries in 2025, prompting offseason trade speculation that Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes minimized. Hernández intends to continue mentoring the club's younger players and finds personal fulfillment in helping them because he lacked that guidance early in his career. Young outfielder Andy Pages, 24, was a notable beneficiary of Hernández's mentorship during the season.
