Los Angeles Dodgers Sign Teoscar Hernandez to an One Year Deal Worth Over $20 Million
LA is going all in this offseason to get that long-awaited full season championship. The fans are ready, and the ball club is answering the call by assembling a “super team.” For instance, Shohei Ohtani, Glasnow and Yamamoto are newly acquired and ready to lead what some are calling “the decade of dominance.” However, the blue men are not finished just yet; and are still making moves. The latest? The Los Angeles Dodgers sign Teoscar Hernandez to an one year deal worth over $20 million.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan is the first to officially break the news. He reveals details regarding the signing as well as contract. Passan states,
“BREAKING: Outfielder Teoscar Hernández and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on a one-year, $23.5 million contract, sources tell ESPN. Hernández joins Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow on the new-look Dodgers, who add another All-Star bat to the lineup.
Of the $23.5 million in Teoscar Hernández’s deal with the Dodgers, $8.5 million will be deferred, to be paid out from 2030 to 2039, sources tell ESPN. The corner-outfield market is tough, and Hernández opted for a big one-year deal with the best team over other multiyear offers.”

So then, how does Hernandez exactly help the Dodgers in their quest for another World Series win? What are some of his stats? Since it’s not about just spending money; it’s about spending it wisely to truly strengthen your team. And the Dodgers do a good job of this; not only adding stars, but depth.
Noah Camras, who covers the Dodgers, discusses these details and more. Camras says,
“The Dodgers really got Teoscar Hernandez and only had to give him a one-year deal. The Dodgers got their lefty killer who can also play against right-handed pitching. What a dream offseason. This team is beyond loaded.
The Dodgers’ biggest need right now is a solid right-handed outfielder.
Teoscar Hernandez [is the] best-case scenario. He has 20+ home runs in five straight full seasons and a .815 OPS since 2020. He has a career .877 OPS against left-handed pitching.
Teoscar Hernandez’s career stats:
vs. LHP: .887 OPS, 136 wRC+
vs. RHP: .772 OPS, 110 wRC+He has 20+ home runs in five straight full seasons. He crushes LHP. He can hold his own against RHP. Sounds like he’s exactly what Andrew Friedman and the Dodgers are looking for.”
The Dodgers are having a fairytale offseason. 2024 looks very bright. Yet, the true test will come in the postseason. Where it is about being hot at the right time, with the right set of guys. By the looks of things, the men in blue will have no shortage in talent when the time comes.
