Dodgers Expected to Lose All-Star Slugger to a Contract Worth $80 Million
The Dodgers have been spending so much money in the recent MLB offseasons—especially this past winter—that it is easy to forget that they are also bound by salary limit and roster size restrictions, as well as luxury taxes. In the end, they are unable to retain everyone. Therefore, it is anticipated that the organization would lose Teoscar Hernandez, a right-handed slugger who signed a one-year, $23.5 million contract in January, after this season.

Hernandez was not able to sign a long-term deal, so the Dodgers signed him; nevertheless, Los Angeles may not want to commit to him in the future.

However, it’s likely that some team will, and according to Bleacher Report, that team will be the developing Washington Nationals, who will reportedly give Hernandez a four-year, $80 million contract in exchange.

Hernandez, who batted.260 with a.327 on-base percentage and a.474 slugging percentage this season, was an All-Star. This season, he is second on the squad after Shohei Ohtani with 22 home runs and 62 RBIs.
