Hern\u00e1ndez confirmed the news with a video posted to his X account with the caption, \u201cwalking through the open door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"JPUTGEJDRFBLLFAHQ7C34Z4NXA\">The comment stems from when president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said during the Dodgers&#8217; annual Fan Fest that the door \u201cwill never be closed\u201d for a reunion.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6ED3DYLGLNARPHYJY2PKV54IKE\">Hern\u00e1ndez spent the last two seasons in LA \u2014 his second stint with the team \u2014 after the Red Sox traded him to the Dodgers in 2023. He helped Los Angeles win the World Series when he batted .278 with five hits (one triple) and three runs in the five-game series against the Yankees.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2E4763E65ZG2ZMDATIJWFVBTSA\">The Dodgers signed Hyeseong Kim, leading to thoughts that a reunion with Hern\u00e1ndez would be difficult. But Hern\u00e1ndez is well-liked among the team and the fans, and there\u2019s no doubt he brings plenty of energy to the clubhouse.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><b>BETTING:<\/b><\/i><i> Check out our <\/i>MA sports betting guide<i>, where you can learn basic terminology, definitions and how to read odds for those interested in learning how to bet in Massachusetts.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Some Things I Think I Think: Threat of salary cap looming for baseball<\/li>\n<li>Craig Breslow: Red Sox want to add \u2018difference-maker\u2019 to lineup before Opening Day<\/li>\n<li>How Red Sox can make a Nolan Arenado trade work (5 thoughts) | Chris Cotillo<\/li>\n<li>MLB Notebook: Andrew Bailey on plans for Red Sox\u2019 improved pitching staff<\/li>\n<li>Shohei Ohtani\u2019s ex-interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, sentenced to 57 months in prison<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
