He hit .272 with 33 home runs and 99 RBI in 2024 with the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Hern\u00e1ndez is now 32 years old, the Dodgers still expect him to be a big factor in their lineup. He found a home last year in left field of Dodger Stadium, and it&#8217;s only a matter of time before the reunion happens.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Dodgers are looking at alternatives just in case a deal can&#8217;t be reached. Rosenthal mentioned Seiya Suzuki, Luis Robert and Ha-Seong Kim as other options.<\/p>\n<p>Of the two that would be acquired through a trade (Suzuki and Robert), Rosenthal sees the latter as being the one who is more available. Kim is an option in the free agent market but is expected to miss the early part of the season due to surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers still need an outfielder, but it&#8217;s only a matter of time before the gap is filled.
