The Los Angeles Dodgers have secured the services of Teoscar Hernández, re-signing the outfielder to a three-year contract in MLB. The deal reportedly includes a $23 million signing bonus and guarantees a total of $66 million. Yancen Pujols was the first to report that Hernández and the Dodgers were finalizing the agreement.
Hernández, who prioritized returning to Los Angeles after an outstanding 2024 season, successfully secured the three-year contract he was seeking. The Dominican slugger, known for his offensive power, delivered an impressive .272/.339/.501 slash line with 33 home runs in 652 plate appearances, playing a pivotal role in the Dodgers’ second championship in five years.
The agreement is a win-win for both parties. Hernández rebuilt his market value and proved his ability to be an offensive force for a championship-caliber team. Additionally, the contract includes a $15 million team option for the 2028 season, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Unrivaled Offensive Power
With Hernández re-signed, the Dodgers solidify one of the most formidable lineups in Major League Baseball. Alongside stars like Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers boast a powerhouse offense.
Championship Aspirations Remain Clear
Despite these potential challenges, the Dodgers’ commitment to winning is evident. Re-signing Hernández reinforces the franchise’s ambition to remain atop the National League. By prioritizing proven offensive talent, the Dodgers continue to position themselves as one of MLB’s most competitive teams.
