Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers have an update on a potential Teoscar Hernandez trade from an insider.

Hernandez started his Dodgers tenure in 2024, having a career year while on a one-year, prove-it contract. He did more than enough to earn a lucrative three-year extension, but as things currently stand heading into 2027, rookie Josue De Paula's emergence can very well spell the end of Hernandez's time in LA while also sparing the final $17.3 million of his deal (with a club option in 2028).

De Paula quickly showed what he can do with a bat, hitting .323 in 11 games at the major league level after being promoted directly from Double-A. However, since he has limited experience in the outfield, the level of trust isn't quite there.

Dodgers insider Katie Woo of The Athletic detailed why a would-be trade essentially hinges on De Paula's progression, something that they won't be able to track if there is a lockout (which appears likely) that would bar teams from contacting their players on the 40-man roster this offseason.

"If De Paula isn’t ready, the Dodgers risk creating a major hole in their outfield," Woo wrote. "A platoon of Hernandez and De Paula is possible, but the Dodgers would likely prefer De Paula get consistent at-bats for his development."

In other news, the Dodgers are reportedly open to parting ways with right-hander Tyler Glasnow. An MLB insider spoke on why the move would make financial sense since he is owed $30 million next season with a $21.5 million player option in 2028. It's also worth noting Glasnow has been a frequent member on the injured list over the course of his career.

Finally, the Dodgers are targeting a pair of free agents that would fill the Miguel Rojas-sized hole on the roster following his retirement. The two Gold Glovers would continue to provide the defense presence that Rojas had while adding a consistent bat to the lineup.
