The Los Angeles Dodgers remain interested in bringing back outfielder Teoscar Hernández this offseason. However, as of now, there doesn’t appear to be much progress on a new deal.

Hernández and the Dodgers are off on average annual value, the signing bonus, and the deferrals, as Dodgers Nation reported last week. Hernández is also drawing interest from a handful of other teams.

While Hernández has made it clear he wants to return to the Dodgers this offseason, nothing has materialized yet. Also, Hernández’s market hasn’t been as robust as expected following Juan Soto’s deal with the New York Mets.

This week, MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand provided an update on Hernández’s free agency, including what contract he’s looking for from his next team.

“The Dodgers and Hernández seemed headed for a reunion, but the two sides haven’t been able to reach a deal thus far. That opened the door for other teams – namely the Red Sox and Blue Jays – to jump in on the outfielder, who is seeking a three-year deal in the $22-24 million a year range, per sources,” Feinsand wrote.

A three-year, $66 million deal would likely get it done at this point, but it’s currently unknown where the Dodgers are at in negotiations. The longer the Dodgers wait, though, the more risk there is that another team jumps in and offers Hernández what he’s seeking.

Hernández had a breakout 2024 season with the Dodgers after signing a one-year deal to reset his market. The 32-year-old slashed .272/.339/.501 with 33 home runs and 99 runs batted in. He appeared in 154 games in left and right field, and had an OPS of .840. He made the All-Star team, won the Home Run Derby, and played a pivotal role in the Dodgers’ World Series run.

Now, the three-time Silver Slugger winner is looking to get paid and find some long-term stability. While he’s made it known he wants it to be in Los Angeles, he doesn’t seem to be planning on taking a massive discount to remain in L.A. — nor should he.
