"Outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has come up in trade talks recently, though both manager Dave Roberts and general manager Brandon Gomes shot down the notion of moving the veteran. "That doesn't feel likely," Gomes told reporters, including Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. "Obviously, you can never say never on those types of things. I know that's come up [in reports]. But that's not something we anticipate at all.""
"Hernandez is heading into the second season of a three-year, $66MM deal. He's coming off a down 2025 campaign in which he provided close to league-average results by wRC+. The veteran slashed .247/.284/.454 with 25 home runs as LA's primary right fielder. Hernandez posted a decent .788 OPS in the postseason. The 33-year-old Hernandez spent time in center field early in his Toronto tenure, though those days are long gone."
Teoscar Hernandez is under contract for a three-year, $66MM deal and enters the second season of that agreement. He produced roughly league-average offense in 2025 with a .247/.284/.454 slash, 25 home runs, and a wRC+ near league average, and he recorded a .788 postseason OPS. Hernandez posted poor defensive results by Outs Above Average (-10 in 2024, -9 in 2025), though manager Dave Roberts described his right-field play as at least average and allowed that roster shaping could create options. General manager Brandon Gomes said a trade does not feel likely. Mookie Betts will remain the primary shortstop.
