Dodgers trading Teoscar Hernandez ‘doesn’t feel likely’
Dodgers manager values Hernández's bat and versatility despite defensive issues, with front office prioritizing outfield evaluation but not a trade, officials said.
- On the first full day of the Winter Meetings, the Los Angeles Dodgers downplayed trade rumors and confirmed Teoscar Hernández will remain their right fielder.
- With Hernández's 2025 struggles on defense and at the plate, Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said last week the Dodgers' outfield evaluation prioritizes getting younger, fueling trade talks.
- Saying a deal `It doesn't feel likely,' Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Monday, even as USA Today reported the club was `shopping` two-time All-Star Teoscar Hernández.
- Roberts emphasized his trust in Hernández while noting flexibility, saying the Dodgers roster is very confident with no major moves planned but Hernández could occasionally shift to left field.
- Amid outfield evaluations, moving Teoscar Hernández would worsen the Dodgers' outfield needs though his salary could fund a splashy free agent signing like a $400 million Kyle Tucker deal; Hernández also contributed a sacrifice fly in Game 7 on Nov. 1.
