While rumor has it that the Dodgers remain in the driver\u2019s seat in terms of getting Hernandez to sign on the dotted line, an old foil of theirs may be playing spoiler.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the Boston Red Sox are emerging as the favorite to sign Hernandez if he weren\u2019t to re-sign with the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI think Boston is the tougher threat for the Dodgers to deal with right now because he\u2019s hit so well at Fenway. Anecdotally, you\u2019ve heard that he\u2019s loved playing there in the past and he would be a really dynamic player at Fenway. 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 Morosi said, via Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, it is now expected for the rest of the free agency dominoes to fall into place now that Soto has signed with the New York Mets. But the Dodgers have shown in the past that if they want a player, they will get their man. And considering how impactful Hernandez was for the team in 2024, expect the Dodgers to not let him go without a fight.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Has Teoscar Hernandez found a home with the Dodgers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3130763\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3130763\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3130763\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-20-24-teoscar-image.jpeg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-20-24-teoscar-image.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-20-24-teoscar-image.jpeg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-20-24-teoscar-image.jpeg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-20-24-teoscar-image.jpeg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-20-24-teoscar-image.jpeg?resize=150,100 150w\" alt=\"Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (37) hits a two run home run in the third inning against the New York Yankees during game two of the 2024 MLB World Series at Dodger Stadium.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3130763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"not-prose flex w-full flex-col gap-4 divide-y divide-solid divide-[#58585820] bg-[#FAFAFA] px-4 pt-5\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-between\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"not-prose align-center\">\n<div class=\"min-w-[300px] overflow-x-hidden text-center font-secondary uppercase my-2.5 min-h-[280px] md:min-h-[250px]\">\n<div id=\"content_3\" data-google-query-id=\"CIe5wN_YnIoDFQNEwgUdNn4LUQ\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/120193976\/Clutchpoints\/Content_3_0__container__\">The Dodgers gave Teoscar Hernandez an everyday role despite an overall struggle in 2023, and it paid off big time, with Hernandez regaining his form and emerging as one of the biggest power threats in a stacked lineup.
