Will Teoscar Hernandez (32), who is backed by the MVP trio, leave the Los Angeles Dodgers? Teams that want to strengthen their power are rushing in.
The U.S. MLB Network reported on the 8th (Korea time) that Hernandez is receiving attention from several teams in the free contract (FA) market.
According to the report, the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles are currently seeking to recruit Hernandez. They are aiming to reinforce right-handed power heaters.
Hernandez, who is in his ninth year in the Major League, has a batting average of 0.272 with 33 home runs, 99 RBIs, 84 runs and 160 hits, and an on-base percentage of 0.339 OPS 0.840.
This is his most homerun in a single season. He also hit 3.5 in FWAR, his highest since 2021 when he hit 4.0. He displayed outstanding performance ahead of becoming a free agent.
As a result, an increasing number of teams are seeking to recruit Hernandez. Hernandez also showed good performance with an OPS of 0.931 including one homer in five World Series games.
For the Los Angeles Dodgers, Hernandez is a resource that they must protect. Hernandez has been very strong against left-handed pitchers. He needs to balance left and right sides.
However, Hernandez has a problem with accuracy, as his overall batting average and on-base percentage are only 0.263 and 0.320. He also had 53 walks and 188 strikeouts during this season. 메이저사이트
Hernandez once showed great affection for the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, the Los Angeles Dodgers prepared in case it failed to catch Hernandez. It offered a qualifying offer.
Currently, Hernandez’s estimated ransom is around four years – up to $80 million. It may be burdensome to invest in a less accurate hitter who will turn 33 in 2025.
Hernandez hit a stunning home run behind the Los Angeles Dodgers MVP trio consisting of Shohei Ohtani-Mookie Betts-Freddie Freeman.
Attention is focusing on whether he will raise his ransom after winning the World Series and leave for another club or stay with the LA Dodgers and aim for the first repeat of the 21st century.
