According to sources at the outlet, the star outfielder\u2019s\u00a0name has come up in trade conversations. A potential deal involving the three-time Silver Slugger award winner would be fairly shocking. After all, Hernandez has been a key piece of the Dodgers\u2019 puzzle since he arrived in 2024.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div id=\"div_ub_inpage20\" class=\"adsconex-banner-parallax\" data-ad-placement=\"banner20\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The veteran outfielder has racked up\u00a0eight homers, 25 RBIs, and posted an .780 OPS\u00a0in 33 postseason games for Los Angeles in the last two combined playoffs. Only superstar\u00a0Shohei Ohtani\u00a0put up better numbers at the plate in these categories during the 2025 postseason. Hernandez also collected a crucial RBI in game seven of the World Series in November.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Outfield Defense was an Issue for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5639000\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2244546503-e1764863247579.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5639000\">GettyTeoscar Hernandez has struggled defensively for the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>With these impressive offensive statistics, fans may wonder why the Dodgers would even listen to trade talk involving Hernandez. Although the star is solid at the plate, there is a downside to his game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1837672\" data-uid=\"06abf\">\n<div id=\"mgw1837672_06abf\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As pointed out by The Athletic, Hernandez recently ranked 33rd out of 36 total right fielders in Outs Above Average (-9). As a team, the Dodgers\u00a0ranked 18th in Major League Baseball\u00a0in this specific category during 2025. Hernandez is clearly a major reason for this.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><\/div>\n<p>Los Angeles is widely seen as a \u2018super team,\u2019 but club officials are always looking for ways to improve. Although it may be hard to find holes in the Dodgers, they are below average defensively, particularly in the outfield. Because of this, they would appear willing to address the problem.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div id=\"div_ub_inpage21\" class=\"adsconex-banner-parallax\" data-ad-placement=\"banner21\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If Hernandez is dealt, the Dodgers seemingly already have his potential replacement in\u00a0Andy Pages. The versatile outfielder was deployed in all three outfield positions throughout 2025. He also\u00a0did not record an error in 51 games\u00a0at right field throughout the season. Pages took a significant step forward at the plate in the most recent campaign as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dodgers Linked with Multiple Trades Involving Outfielders<\/h2>\n<p>Ultimately, the Dodgers would likely have to be blown away by an offer to actually trade Hernandez. His departure from L.A. still seems fairly unlikely. Nevertheless, the Dodgers have been connected with acquiring athletic outfielders throughout the offseason.\u00a0Bleacher Report recently linked\u00a0the reigning World Series champions with a trade for\u00a0Boston Red Sox\u00a0outfielder\u00a0Jarren Duran.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><\/div>\n<p>Another Red Sox outfielder,\u00a0Wilyer Abreu, was also recently thought to be\u00a0targeted by the Dodgers\u00a0as well. Boston has a plethora of talented outfielders and is expected to ship out at least one of them ahead of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div id=\"related-content-block-metaconex\" class=\"js_adsconex_block\" data-site-type=\"metaconex\" data-type=\"ad_block\" data-ad-placement-id=\"71383\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Some may view a potential deal involving Hernandez as a signal that the Dodgers are getting star free agent\u00a0Kyle Tucker. This, however, is unlikely to be the case. Los Angeles is not expected to hand the outfielder a massive long-term contract. Instead, the Dodgers will have another trick up their sleeve if they trade their Silver Slugger.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0do not appear willing to stand pat for the 2026 season.
