Teoscar Hernandez is reportedly staying in L.A.
The All-Star outfielder signed a three-year, $66 million contract with the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, according to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that the deal has a fourth-year option for $15 million, a $23 million signing bonus and $23 million in deferred money.
Hernandez got in the fun of announcing his deal, posting on his Instagram story, “I’m back,” with a blue heart.
In 154 games last year, Hernandez batted .272 with a career-high 33 home runs while driving in 99 runs. He also had a career-best 4.3 bWAR.
Since 2019, the slugger ranks within the top 15 league-wide in home runs (158) and RBIs (484).
The former Blue Jay, 32, joined the Dodgers on a one-year deal last off-season, where he earned his second All-Star nod, won the Home Run Derby and won the World Series.
More to come.
