Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez has been attached to Boston in rumors for some time<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Red Sox received some potentially promising news over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez reportedly wants to stay with the Dodgers, who he helped win the World Series after earning a 2024 All-Star nod. But according to The Athletic\u2019s Ken Rosenthal, Hern\u00e1ndez and Los Angeles \u201cremain at an impasse\u201d in negotiations and the club has started \u201cexploring a number of intriguing right-handed hitting alternatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enter Boston, which had interest in adding Hern\u00e1ndez last offseason and relaunched its pursuit upon the start of free agency. But a pact wouldn\u2019t be cheap, as Rosenthal reported the veteran slugger is seeking \u201ca three-year deal between $66 million and $72 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

That isn\u2019t to say the Red Sox will have <\/em>to pay that price in order to sign Hern\u00e1ndez. If interested terms were ready and willing to meet those terms, the 32-year-old wouldn\u2019t have had a free agency tour that expanded over a month. At this point, Hern\u00e1ndez and fellow power-hitting outfielder Anthony Santander seemingly are waiting to see who blinks first.<\/p>\n

But if Boston does sign Hern\u00e1ndez, there likely wouldn\u2019t be as much risk as there would be with other high-profile deals. The two-time All-Star has outstanding career offensive numbers at Fenway Park and he probably wouldn\u2019t be exposed defensively playing left field in Boston.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s just a matter of the Red Sox determining how much they value Hern\u00e1ndez at this stage in his career.<\/p>\n
