Cincinnati Reds Seek Free-Agent Outfielder Hernandez

The Cincinnati Reds are actively pursuing free-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez, who is looking for a three-year deal, amidst interest from several other teams, including the Dodgers and Phillies. Hernandez had a strong 2024 season, making him a valuable addition to the Reds' lineup. Meanwhile, the Miami Marlins are focusing on developing their young players but recognize the importance of veteran leadership following the trade of Jake Burger. Marlins' president Peter Bendix stated that signing a veteran player is a priority, with options like Carlos Santana and Anthony Rizzo being considered. In addition, the Reds are exploring trade opportunities to improve their roster, including potentially acquiring players with bloated contracts like Jordan Montgomery and Sonny Gray. This offseason, both teams are looking to strengthen their competitive edge in the upcoming season.
