\n

On Sunday night, the Dodgers officially lost out on what appeared to be a valiant chase for Juan Soto.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

They were the only team (out of five apparent finalists) not to offer $700 million or more, but seemed to be in contention close to the end. Still, Soto followed the money to Queens, signing with the Mets for 15 years and $765 million.<\/p>\n

LA losing out wasn\u2019t really a surprise to Dodgers fans, many of whom didn\u2019t really want Soto desperately to begin with.<\/p>\n

Fans\u2019 attentions are more firmly on Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s future, which makes sense given everything he contributed to the Dodgers in 2024.<\/p>\n

Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s market was stalled by Soto, but now that the latter has signed, the floodgates are opened, and deals for both Hern\u00e1ndez and Anthony Santander \u2014 the other two top outfielders on the market \u2014 seem inevitable.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers aren\u2019t the only ones in on Hern\u00e1ndez, of course. The Red Sox, Yankees, and\u00a0Blue Jays have all been connected to him, and all three of those teams just saved $700+ million by missing out on Soto, who received far more than anyone expected him to at the outset.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll make the job of any team interested in Hern\u00e1ndez even harder. How much are the Dodgers going to have to shell out to get him back in LA?<\/p>\n

What does Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s market look like following Juan Soto\u2019s megadeal?<\/h2>\n

The Athletic predicted Hern\u00e1ndez would get three years and $75 million\u00a0in free agency, while MLB Trade Rumors predicted three years and $60 million.<\/p>\n

MLBTR\u2019s always felt a bit too low, given that he made $23.5 million this past season, but now even $25 million a year might not get the job done, especially as teams swarm to sign the No. 2 outfielder on the market.<\/p>\n

Three years still feels safe, but now teams might have to push to a $27-28 million AAV to get a deal over the line. Soto is clearly in a league of his own at $51 million per year, but desperation should drive Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s price up accordingly.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Alden Gonz\u00e1lez of ESPN reported Hern\u00e1ndez and the Dodgers had been engaged in negotiations for some time, but were\u00a0\u201cunable to bridge the gap.\u201d\u00a0That certainly doesn\u2019t sound promising, and it leaves room for Boston, New York, and Toronto to move in and concede where LA might not be willing to.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more than a little frustrating to know that the two parties have been in talks, but something nebulous is keeping them from just getting this thing done.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Dodgers signed Michael Conforto\u00a0for the outfield and could give Andy Pages a more full-time role in the outfield next season, but no one wants to watch Hern\u00e1ndez walk away this offseason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
