The Los Angeles Dodgers of the American professional baseball Major League (MLB), who swept the biggest names in the Stove League, including Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, are continuing their endless march.
ESPN quoted a local source on the 8th (Korean time) and said, "The Dodgers plan to sign a one-year contract with outfielder Teoscar Hernández (31) for a total of $23.5 million (30.93 billion won)." “If no major problems are found in the physical examination, the contract will be officially announced,” he said.
Starting in the 2021 season, Hernández hit more than 20 home runs for three consecutive years, and in the 2023 season, he posted a batting average of 0.258, 26 home runs, and 93 RBI.
He played for the Toronto Blue Jays from mid-2017 to the 2022 season and worked together with Ryu Hyun-jin.
The Dodgers also included a deferral clause in the contract terms to recruit Hernández.
ESPN explained, "The Dodgers, who are experiencing salary cap problems, plan to pay a total of $8.5 million between 2030 and 2039."
The Dodgers are literally on a scary run.
Last month, 'superstar' Ohtani was signed for 10 years and $700 million, the highest treatment in MLB history, and Japanese pitcher Yamamoto was signed for a 12-year contract worth $325 million, the highest guaranteed amount for an MLB pitcher in history.
The Dodgers signed a five-year, $136.5 million contract extension with right-handed fastball pitcher Tyler Glasnow.
The Dodgers already have a star team filled with the best players in the league, including Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, and are still investing generously in strengthening their power.
