Dodgers could be targeting Chicago high-upside outfielder in blockbuster trade

The Los Angeles Dodgers have their eyes on another right-handed bat that could take over for Teoscar Hernandez next season.

Dodgers looking into White Sox’s Luis Robert Jr.

Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Dodgers are exploring Chicago White Sox star center fielder Luis Robert Jr. this offseason (h/t B/R Walk-Off).

Hernandez is a free agent this winter, which leaves the Dodgers in a tenuous position. The Dominican star was a major catalyst who helped the franchise win the 2024 World Series, and his potential absence would hurt them tremendously out of the cleanup spot in their batting order and on defense out of the left field slot, as well as right field.

Robert Jr. could replace Teoscar Hernandez on Dodgers

A Robert Jr. acquisition could soften the blow of Hernandez’s potential departure. The former had a down campaign in 2024, missing 62 games and slashing .224/.278/.379 at the plate with only 14 home runs and 35 RBIs. However, just a year prior, the 2023 All-Star and Silver Slugger Award winner slashed .264/.315/.542 with an .857 OPS, and averaged a .287/.331/.511 slash line and .842 OPS from 2021-2023. Both of the latter two peripherals closely mirror Hernandez’s .272/.339/.501 slash line and .840 OPS from 2024.
