"According to multiple reports, Teoscar Hernández has come up in the Dodgers' trade talks with other teams this winter. USA Today went as far as saying the club was "shopping" the two-time All-Star, who is entering the second season of the three-year, $66 million deal he signed last offseason. However, both manager Dave Roberts and general manager Brandon Gomes downplayed that notion while addressing reporters on Monday."
"Though the 33-year-old slugger suffered an inconsistent and injury-plagued regular season in 2025 - both at the plate, where he had 25 home runs but hit only .247, and especially defensively, where he had several notable lapses after moving to right field - the 10-year veteran has made crucial contributions in each of the Dodgers' two World Series runs the last couple years, and has served in a mentor role to young players in the clubhouse; none more so than Andy Pages."
Offseason activity for the Dodgers has been limited, with the most notable rumor involving Teoscar Hernández appearing in trade discussions. USA Today reported the club was "shopping" Hernández as he enters the second year of a three-year, $66 million contract. Manager Dave Roberts and GM Brandon Gomes publicly downplayed trade expectations and said Hernández still fits the roster. Hernández endured an inconsistent, injury-affected 2025 with 25 home runs and a .247 average and had defensive lapses after shifting to right field. Hernández has provided postseason contributions and mentorship to younger players. Trading him could lower age and free salary, but the team does not anticipate a move.
