He signed with the Dodgers on a one-year, $23.5 million in 2024 and the qualifying offer was for almost $2 million less. That was after he had the best season of his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_z7p9a1uzd\">Hern\u00e1ndez has made it clear that he is seeking a multiyear offer and wants to stay somewhere longterm. Declining the QO is the first step in achieving that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_m7xyruk4r\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">MLB Trade Rumors\u00a0projects that Hern\u00e1ndez will earn less annually in free agency than his current $20 million per year, but he\u2019s expected to secure a longer deal, giving him more job stability. Meanwhile,\u00a0The Athletic\u00a0predicts he\u2019ll land a three-year contract with a higher annual value of $25 million. Either way, it\u2019s clear Hern\u00e1ndez is looking for more than a one-year commitment, and it\u2019s easy to see why he\u2019d want that kind of security after proving his worth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_jlatcejfr\">Hern\u00e1ndez shined in his debut season with the team, capturing his first World Series title and Home Run Derby crown. This year, he also earned his second All-Star nod and third Silver Slugger award, both of which were firsts for him in the National League.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_wczghc7hp\">Hern\u00e1ndez shared what winning a Silver Slugger meant to him on\u00a0MLB Network:<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_3zyiilyqd\">\u201cIt means a lot, because if you go back, there were a lot of good players. In their years, there were so many good players that didn\u2019t win any because there were Hall of Fame players, guys that hit the ball, hit homers, drive in runs. A lot of good guys spent a lot of time in the league and never win more than one or never got one. You see their numbers and wonder how that guy never got a Silver Slugger. So for me, proud of the work I put in every single day to be on the field producing and putting up good numbers. I feel blessed right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_nc8l2pb4s\">The Dodgers are still considered the favorite to re-sign Hern\u00e1ndez but they will have to come closer to meeting his demands or possibly lose him to another postseason contender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez has reportedly made one thing clear \u2014 he isn&#8217;t taking the team&#8217;s qualifying offer.
