Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez is coming off one of the best years of his big league career.<\/p>\n

The star outfielder is a free agent this winter, but he\u2019s been very vocal that he wants to return to the Dodgers and chase more World Series titles.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"Yankees,<\/p>\n

So, why haven\u2019t the Dodgers re-signed the 32-year-old outfielder yet? FanSided\u2019s Zachary Rotman labeled it as the Dodgers being petty. Rotman shared the same confusion as to why Hern\u00e1ndez hasn\u2019t been re-signed yet. \u201cThe 32-year-old is looking for a three-year deal worth roughly $23 million annually,\u201d Rotman wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a guy who set career highs with 33 home runs and 4.3 bWAR this past season.<\/p>\n

He drove in 99 runs, had a .840 OPS, was an All-Star, and won a Silver Slugger. Hernandez hit in the middle of the Dodgers\u2019 order virtually all season long, consistently coming through when the team needed him to.<\/p>\n

In what world is an All-Star not worth roughly $23 million on a fairly short-term deal?\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s completely reasonable for Hern\u00e1ndez to demand $20 million to $25 million a year.<\/p>\n

And that shouldn\u2019t be a problem for the Dodgers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Dodgers won\u2019t meet his price, there\u2019s a good chance another team will considering how reasonable it is.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers have other options that they can consider, but it\u2019d be tough for them to find one who fits in as well as Hernandez did,\u201d Rotman wrote. If Los Angeles doesn\u2019t pay up, which would be incredibly shocking, the Cincinnati Reds, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and plenty of other teams will emerge as suitors.<\/p>\n

Hern\u00e1ndez is a very valued outfielder because of his bat. It\u2019s almost guaranteed that at least one team will send him the three-year, $70 million deal that he\u2019s looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
