Dodgers Pursue Star Outfielder Teoscar Hernández

The Los Angeles Dodgers are in ongoing negotiations to re-sign outfielder Teoscar Hernández, who had a standout 2024 season with 33 home runs and an All-Star selection. Despite mutual interest, a deal has yet to materialize, as Hernández seeks a three-year contract valued at around $24 million per year, totaling approximately $66 million. MLB insider Ken Rosenthal remains optimistic about a reunion but notes the delay is puzzling. While the Dodgers explore alternatives like Seiya Suzuki and Luis Robert, they are also linked to top free-agent pitcher Corbin Burnes, should he consider a short-term deal. The Dodgers have bolstered their rotation with Blake Snell and anticipate the return of injured stars, making them a competitive team for the upcoming season. Boston's Masataka Yoshida has also emerged as a potential trade candidate for the Dodgers, but their focus remains on securing Hernández.
