"Hernández re-signed with the Dodgers last offseason on a three-year, $66 million contract to end what became a drawn-out free agency process. His deal included a $23 million signing bonus, $23.5 million in deferred salary, $15 million team option for the 2028 season or $6.5 million buyout. Thus, Hernández can earn a total of $81 million under his Dodgers contract."
"The Los Angeles Dodgers don't have many roster needs heading into the 2026 season, but there is a glaring void in their outfield. On the surface it's in left field, where Michael Conforto played and fell well short of expectations on his one-year contract. But because of some versatility with Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernández, the Dodgers conceivably could acquire any outfielder and arrange the pieces however is necessary."
The Dodgers enter 2026 with few roster needs but a clear outfield vacancy, nominally in left field after Michael Conforto underperformed on a one-year deal. Andy Pagés and Teoscar Hernández provide positional versatility, enabling multiple alignment options if the team acquires another outfielder. Bob Nightengale reported that the Dodgers are shopping Hernández, who re-signed last offseason on a three-year, $66 million contract with significant signing bonus and deferred salary components. Hernández helped power the team to consecutive championships after joining in 2025, but he regressed offensively and struggled defensively in right field this past season.
