Teoscar Hernandez refuses to let Dodgers do to him what they did to Ohtani, Betts or Freeman

The Dominican outfielder will not lower his financial demands to the Los Angeles franchise

Days go by and uncertainty grows with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 2024 World Series champions still cannot sign Teoscar Hernandez, it seemed that everything was arranged but there is one major detail why the Dominican has not signed.

While talks are slowly progressing, the Dominican will have several suitors. His great abilities are what many MLB teams are looking for, especially with outfielders. His statistics make it clear that he is a top free agent

Why did he reject them?

Teoscar does not want his payments deferred, he wants his money in full and on time. The Dodgers are very much into making these financial moves in big contracts, as in the case of Ohtani, Betts or Freeman.

On the other hand, the outfielder is looking for a better contract, as the offer put on the table does not leave him satisfied. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is already doing his homework and is still trying to convince him to stay

“I love Teo, and so I think we’re close. I pray that everyone prays that we can finish with Tao and he can come back in the Dodger blue uniform as well,” the manager said in an interview with Bleed Los Podcast

It is important to note that they have a tough schedule and will be without Ohtani through injury, so they must act quickly no matter how confident they are of re-signing him
