Teoscar Hernández and the Dodgers have agreed to a three-year, $66 million contract that includes a club option for 2028, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Friday night.
The club has not confirmed. Hern¨˘ndez posted "I'm back" on his Instagram stories shortly before news of the deal broke.
Hern¨˘ndez rolled the dice a bit last offseason by passing up some multiyear offers to sign a one-year, $23.5 million deal with the Dodgers -- but it certainly paid off. The 32-year-old outfielder had an incredible debut season in L.A., hitting a career-high 33 home runs while also winning the Home Run Derby, earning his second career All-Star nod and helping the Dodgers win the World Series.
Hern¨˘ndez has been one of the more consistent power hitters in the Majors over the past half-decade, hitting at least 25 homers in each of the five full MLB seasons since 2019. He's one of just nine hitters to reach the 25-homer plateau five times during that stretch. The others are: Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Schwarber, Manny Machado, Rafael Devers, Matt Olson and Pete Alonso.
Along with his impressive 2024 regular season, Hern¨˘ndez put together a solid postseason performance during the Dodgers' run to the title. He reached base safely in 15 of the club's 16 postseason games, all while racking up three home runs, 12 RBIs and 10 walks.
