Los Angeles Dodgers Right Fielder Teoscar Hernandez reiterated earlier today his desire to remain a member of the Dodgers past the 2024 season. He signed a one-year $23.5 million contract in January of 2024.
“I want to stay. I don’t want to keep bouncing around the league. I feel good here, comfortable. I think this is a good chance for me to win. That is the most important thing for me. It’s a great group. I would love to stay.”
Hernandez has made himself a boatload of money with a great start to the 2024 season. He is hitting .266 this season with 16 home runs and 48 RBI. He is tied for seventh in the league in both home runs and RBI. Hernandez has been tremendous over his last four games with three home runs and ten RBI over that stretch. He had a career day on Saturday against the New York Yankees when he hit two home runs and had six RBI including a grand slam.
Will Hernandez get his wish and remain with the Los Angeles Dodgers for 2025 and beyond?
