Teoscar Hernández prioritized re-signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers this offseason, securing his place in the team's lineup for the next three years as they head into the 2025 season. During a press conference on Friday, Hernández was officially reintroduced alongside Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and general manager Brandon Gomes.
Gomes highlighted Hernández's contributions to the team, praising his infectious enthusiasm and ability to step up in crucial moments. According to Beth Harris of the Associated Press, Gomes emphasized that Hernández always put the team first, bringing a genuine love for the game and a level-headed approach in high-pressure situations.
Looking ahead, Gomes outlined the Dodgers’ outfield alignment, with Hernández set to play left field while Michael Conforto will be the everyday right fielder.
Additionally, the Dodgers have made another key offseason move by signing Korean utility player Hyeseong Kim. Kim, a high-contact left-handed hitter, adds versatility to the roster with his ability to cover both middle infield and corner outfield positions. Although the team plans to deploy Mookie Betts and Gavin Lux as their primary middle infield duo, trade inquiries have reportedly come in for Lux. Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated reports that both the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners have expressed interest in acquiring Lux, with Seattle being the more aggressive suitor in trade discussions.
Meanwhile, Cavan Biggio, who was acquired by the Dodgers from the Toronto Blue Jays in June, has now signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals after struggling at the plate in his brief stint with Los Angeles. According to Theo DeRosa, Biggio posted a .192/.306/.329 slash line with three home runs and 10 RBIs in 30 games before being let go.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574475442716
As the Dodgers continue shaping their roster for the 2025 season, these moves reflect their commitment to maintaining depth and flexibility while positioning themselves as contenders once again.
