“They are probably letting him look around and saying, ‘if someone blows us out of the water, fine.’ Usually the Dodgers set a mark,” Nightengale said. “‘Okay, if you’re willing to sign for this we will do it, otherwise we will turn our attention somewhere else.’ I think Teoscar Hernandez comes back.

“He loved playing for the Dodgers. You saw it during the postseason, during the parade, everybody raved about what a great teammate he was.”

Will Teoscar Hernandez re-sign with the Dodgers following strong 2024 season?

Hernandez enjoyed an All-Star 2024 season. The 32-year-old outfielder, who earned his second career All-Star selection, recorded a slash line of .272/.339/.501/.840 across 154 games played. He also hit 33 home runs and 32 doubles while driving in 99 runs and stealing 12 bases. It was an all-around quality campaign for the veteran right-handed hitter, as he ended up finishing 19th in National League MVP voting.
