Three Front-Runners For Teoscar Hernandez
11 months agoThe Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox appear to be the front-runners to sign free-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez, a two-time Silver Slugger winner. Some are speculating that Hernandez will wait for Cody Bellinger to sign before inking his own deal, but the Angels, Dodgers and Red Sox aren't in on Bellinger, which could open the door for them to make an aggressive move on him. The 31-year-old was an All-Star in 2021 but disappointed in 2023 with the M's, hitting 26 home runs with a .740 OPS and a career-high 211 strikeouts in 160 games in spacious T-Mobile Park. He was ranked near the bottom of the league in chase percentage (13th percentile), walk rate (13th percentile), strikeout rate (ninth percentile) and whiff percentage (third percentile), so Hernandez will be hoping a change of scenery does him well.
