Dodgers $23M star predicted to re-sign with LA after monster year

Even winning the World Series can’t slow the Los Angeles Dodgers down.

Los Angeles just accomplished what every team in baseball wanted by winning the World Series this fall over the New York Yankees but it seems like the Dodgers aren’t even taking a minute to breathe.

The Dodgers have been linked to a handful of free agents and there even have been reports that the club met with Yankees star Juan Soto. It should be unlikely that Soto will land in Los Angeles but who knows at this point. The Dodgers can do anything they want.

No matter what happens with Soto, the Dodgers are going to be busy and Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter predicted that Teoscar Hernández will end up re-signing.

“Slugger Teoscar Hernández has made it clear he prefers to stay with the Dodgers, but it’s also unlikely he is going to settle for another short-term deal coming off an elite offensive season that boosted his stock significantly,” Reuter said. “The Dodgers can turn to some combination of Andy Pages, James Outman, Chris Taylor, and top prospect Dalton Rushing to fill the other corner outfield spot, but adding a productive veteran such as Jesse Winker would help take some pressure off that group. If he can be had on a one-year deal, he would be a nice under-the-radar pickup.”

Hernández made $23.5 million with Los Angeles so a multi-year deal with a similar annual value could make sense. He shined in 2024 with the Dodgers and had 33 home runs and 99 RBIs while earning an All-Star nod. Hopefully, he does end up returning.
