Dodgers Sign Teoscar Hernandez to One-Year, $23.5 Million Contract
Hernandez Signs with Dodgers After Facing Major Career Decision
Contract Includes $8.5 Million in Deferred Money
Outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has signed a one-year, $23.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to multiple reports. The contract includes $8.5 million in deferred money that will be paid out from 2030 to 2039.
Hernandez faced a major decision in his career, weighing offers from multiple teams. Ultimately, he decided to sign with the Dodgers in a move that could bolster their already-potent offense.
The Dodgers have been one of the most active teams in free agency this offseason, adding several key players to their roster. They recently signed shortstop Trea Turner, outfielder J.D. Martinez, and catcher Miguel Cabrera.
Hernandez is a three-time All-Star and was a key member of the Toronto Blue Jays' lineup last season. He hit .293 with 25 home runs and 77 RBIs in 151 games.
The Dodgers' signing of Hernandez is a significant move that signals their intentions to compete for a World Series title in 2023.
