Overall, keeping Hernández appears favorable for the Dodgers given his central role and recent success, despite outside interest.

Hernández signed a three-year, $66 million extension after the 2024 season, following a strong postseason and regular-season performance that helped the Dodgers win another World Series.

Hernández, 33, has been a staple for the Dodgers since signing a one-year deal prior to 2024, earning an All-Star nod, a Silver Slugger, and contributing to a World Series title.

Trade chatter has included moving Andy Pages to right field and pursuing a center fielder with strong defense, but Hernández’ value as a central, consistent contributor could offset these potential moves.

Discussion around trades has focused on his defense, as he ranked 33rd out of 36 qualified outfielders in outs above average, contributing to the Dodgers’ overall lower defensive metrics in the outfield.

In 2025, Hernández posted a .247/.284/.454 line with 25 home runs and 89 RBIs in the regular season, and a playoff line of .257/.303/.486 with five homers and 13 RBIs in 17 games.

Teoscar Hernández is not expected to be traded by the Dodgers this offseason despite outside interest.

The Dodgers, per Ken Rosenthal and Patrick Mooney, believe it is unlikely Hernández will be moved.
