The Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals are both exploring options to strengthen their lineups for 2025, with the Royals considering Los Angeles Dodgers star Teoscar Hernández to bolster their offensive depth. The Cardinals are also contemplating Hernández as a solution to their offensive struggles, although his market value might not align with their focus on youth. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers are interested in enhancing their bullpen and may pursue San Diego Padres' Tanner Scott, and they are also looking at Milwaukee Brewers' Willy Adames to fill their shortstop need. The San Francisco Giants are predicted to target former MVP Paul Goldschmidt, hoping he can revitalize their lineup after a disappointing 2024 season.
