Teoscar Hernández has agreed to re-sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a three-year contract worth $66 million. The deal, confirmed by multiple sources including ESPN, includes a fourth-year option valued at $15 million, as well as over $23 million in deferred money and a $23 million signing bonus. Hernández, who played a pivotal role in the Dodgers' recent World Series victory, expressed his strong desire to remain with the team throughout the season. He achieved a career-high of 33 home runs and 99 RBIs last season. The agreement marks a successful negotiation for both sides, as Hernández initially sought a guaranteed three-year deal, which became a sticking point in earlier discussions. The Dodgers are expected to benefit from Hernández's offensive contributions as they aim for continued success in the upcoming seasons.
