The Los Angeles Dodgers are exploring other right-handed hitting options aside from free agent Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez, according to The Athletic\u2019s Ken Rosenthal.<\/p>\n

\"Dodgers<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe potential options, according to sources briefed on the team\u2019s discussions, include infielder Ha-Seong Kim in free agency and Chicago Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki, Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. and others in trade,\u201d Rosenthal wrote. \u201cHow serious the Dodgers are about those pursuits \u2013 and how realistic some of them might be \u2013 remains to be seen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

At the start of the offseason, a reunion between the Dodgers and Hern\u00e1ndez seemed inevitable. After Juan Soto signed his landmark deal with the New York Mets, the general consensus about Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s fate in free agency quickly changed.<\/p>\n

Dodgers Nation first reported that the stall in negotiations was because of money. Furthermore, Dodgers Nation also reported that Hern\u00e1ndez didn\u2019t want any deferrals in his contract. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman publicly said the organization doesn\u2019t utilize deferrals in every deal orchestrated.<\/p>\n

The deferrals likely aren\u2019t the main issue with the Hern\u00e1ndez negotiations, but more so the annual average value of the contract and the signing bonus.<\/p>\n

Hern\u00e1ndez is eyeing a three-deal worth $66-$72 million. As the Dodgers explore other options for right-handed hitters, the cost of the alternative free agents are likely playing a big role in the ultimate outcome.<\/p>\n

Rosenthal also indicates the Dodgers could be looking around due to the possibility Hern\u00e1ndez chooses to sign with another team such as the Toronto Blue Jays or the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n

At the Winter Meetings, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts spoke about the reality of losing Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be tough,\u201d Roberts said when asked about potentially losing and replacing Hern\u00e1ndez. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n

Obviously I\u2019m a huge fan of Teo.<\/p>\n

We have a great relationship. His words, he loved everything about being a Dodger, and I\u2019m always going to be a Teo fan.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a whole lot of guys that can start 157, 158 ballgames and post and then to be that productive. Then you layer on being in a big market, helping us win a championship. So those players don\u2019t come around very often.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be hard for me not to see him coming back.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
