Report: Teoscar Hernández Eyeing 3-Year Contract Worth $22M-$24M Per Year in MLB FA

Free agent Teoscar Hernández is one of the top outfielders remaining on the open market, and he's reportedly hoping to secure a lengthy contract.

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Hernández "is seeking a three-year deal in the $22-24 million a year range, per sources." The 32-year-old spent the 2024 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a one-year contract worth $23.5 million, so it makes sense that he wants the security of a longer-term deal this offseason.

Hernández is coming off one of the best years of his career, winning a World Series title with the Dodgers and earning his second All-Star selection. The veteran slugger hit a career-high 33 home runs while adding 99 RBI, and he added three homers and 12 RBI in the postseason.

Feinsand noted that the Dodgers and Hernández "seemed headed for a reunion, but the two sides haven't been able to reach a deal thus far." The delay has "opened the door for other teams" like the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays "to jump in on the outfielder."

Hernandez proved that he could be a consistent source of production on a title-winning team, so the Dodgers will have to work a little harder to avoid losing him to the open market.
