Dodgers Star $71 Million Outfielder Projected To Cut Ties With Los Angeles For Twins
The Los Angeles Dodgers found a steal in the last winter’s free agency class when they inked outfielder Teoscar Hernández to a one-year deal.
Hernández was great in a Dodgers uniform and ultimately helped carry the team to a World Series championship at the end of the 2024 season. But now Hernández is a free agent and he’s able to sign anywhere he’d like. He voiced in the past that he wants to remain with the Dodgers, but at the end of the day, money talks. FanSided’s Nick Villano doesn’t expect Hernández to return to the Dodgers in 2025. Instead, he projects the star outfielder to land with the Minnesota Twins in a shocking move. ”
After how terribly the season ended for the Minnesota Twins, nobody expects them to sit on their heels, right?” Villano wrote. “There’s one complication here, as the Twins are exploring a sale, and teams tend to really watch their books during the sale process, but this is a baseball team that can’t waste an offseason because of that. Also, Hernandez isn’t going to make “change the franchise valuation” money.”
Spotrac projects Hernández to sign a three-year, $71 million deal. The Twins could absolutely afford that kind of contract, especially if the star outfielder is their “big fish” of the offseason.
It would be a huge get for the Twins, though I’m not sure the Dodgers let him head out the door very easily. I feel as though the Dodgers will reward his play and his vocal loyalty to the team with a solid contract offer.
