Breaking: Braves Consider Adding Teoscar Hernandez to…
Multiple pundits have argued that the Atlanta Braves are a potential suitor for Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández this offseason.
MLB insider Jon Morosi didn’t report Thursday that the Braves are pursuing the World Series champion outfielder. However, Morosi also didn’t rule out the possibility.
“Teoscar Hernández is drawing interest from the Red Sox and Orioles in free agency, sources say,” Morosi reported on X (formerly Twitter). “Other clubs are involved, too.”
The question is whether the Braves are one of the other clubs involved.
If FOX Sports’ Rowan Kavner and CBS Sports’ R.J. Anderson had to guess, they would probably both say it’s strongly possible the Braves are involved. Both writers named the Braves a potential landing spot for Hernández.
The 32-year-old outfielder just experienced a terrific season for the Dodgers in 2024. He slashed .272/.339/.501 with 33 home runs, 99 RBI and 84 runs in 154 games. Hernández made the National League All-Star team. During All-Star week, he won the Home Run Derby.
Hernández struggled during the NLCS against the New York Mets. But he hit .333 with 2 home runs and 7 RBI in Los Angeles’ comeback versus the San Diego Padres during the NLDS. Hernández also had a home run with 4 RBI and a .350 average in the World Series against the New York Yankees.
