Wealthy clubs like the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly jumped into the chase for the 32-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>It has made things far more difficult for the Dodgers. That is why on Tuesday, MLB.com league insider Mark Feinsand suggested LA could also pivot and target a big-time slugger to replace Teoscar Hernandez in the outfield.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teoscar Hernandez stats (2024): .272 AVG, .339 OBP, .501 SLG, .840 OBP, 33 HR, 99 RBI, 84 R<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-could-the-los-angeles-dodgers-soon-make-a-run-at-anthony-santander\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could the Los Angeles Dodgers soon make a run at Anthony Santander?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large mobile-image-full-width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1258682\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Playoffs-Kansas-City-Royals-at-Baltimore-Orioles-24375032-e1734469100799.jpg?w=788\" alt=\"los angeles dodgers\" width=\"3968\" height=\"2570\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Credit: Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Along with Teoscar Hernandez, Baltimore Orioles star Anthony Santander is among the best outfielders still available in MLB free agency.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees, Red Sox, and Blue Jays have all been linked to the two-time All-Star since losing out on Soto.<\/p>\n<p>Feinsand believes that the Los Angeles Dodgers are also a \u201cteam to watch\u201d in the chase for Santander.<\/p>\n<p>They had discussions with Soto earlier this month and seem willing to spend big to add more impact pieces.<\/p>\n<p>They have the second-highest payroll in baseball at $226 million heading into 2025.
