The final out of the World Series, when the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees on Oct. 30, did more than mark the end of the Major League Baseball season.<\/p>\n

\"Mets<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It kicked off a free-agent frenzy between the two teams that has yet to be fully resolved. The first shoe dropped Sunday when Juan Soto and the New York Mets reached an agreement on a landmark 15-year, $765 million contract.<\/p>\n

The Yankees were the first runners-up for Soto, whom they reportedly offered a 16-year, $760 million deal. The Dodgers were among the five teams that met personally with Soto in November, but their final offer came in at $600 million, according to The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Now, both World Series teams must go to their \u201cPlan B\u201d to find a corner outfielder and middle-of-the-order bat.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers had one in Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez, who became a free agent after slugging 33 home runs, driving in 99, and batting .272 after signing a one-year, $23.5 million contract in January.<\/p>\n

Both sides have been negotiating toward a possible reunion, and are close on terms.<\/p>\n

However, no deal has been consummated as of Monday afternoon. The Yankees are in the market to sign Hern\u00e1ndez too, according to multiplereports.<\/p>\n

In an interview Monday with Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation, Jon Morosi of MLB Network said the biggest threat to sign Hern\u00e1ndez might be yet another runner-up in the Soto sweepstakes: The Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n

Dodgers, Free Agent Now \u2018Close\u2019 on New Contract as Yankees, Red Sox Lurk: Report \u201cI think Boston is the tougher threat for the Dodgers to deal with right now because (Hern\u00e1ndez) has hit so well at Fenway (Park),\u201d Morosi told McKain.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnecdotally you hear that he\u2019s loved playing there in the past and would be a really dynamic player at Fenway.<\/p>\n

With that wall I think he\u2019d be a tremendous player on both sides of the ball for the Boston Red Sox, who are now looking to make a big impact after missing out on Juan Soto.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Morosi noted that the door is \u201cstill very open\u201d for the Dodgers and Hern\u00e1ndez to strike a new deal, Morosi noted a new contract will come at a cost.<\/p>\n

Now that Soto is off the board, Morosi said, the agents for Hern\u00e1ndez, outfielder Anthony Santander, pitcher Max Fried, and others might ask for \u2013 and receive \u2013 an extra year tacked onto their contracts because of teams\u2019 \u201clatent appetite to spend\u201d in free agency.<\/p>\n

Expect an already lucrative offseason for baseball\u2019s top free agents to rain even more money in a hurry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
