Although the Dodgers have expressed interest in re-signing outfielder Teoscar Hernández, the franchise has been linked to another free agent outfielder. David Schoenfield of ESPN identified free agent outfielder Tyler O’Neill as a good fit for Los Angeles.
Schoenfield predicted that the Dodgers would sign O’Neill to a three-year, $50 million contract. It’s important to note his exercise didn’t allow the Dodgers to re-sign Hernández.
O’Neill played six seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he earned two Gold Glove awards. The Cardinals traded O’Neill nearly a year ago to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for right-handed pitchers Nick Robertson and Victor Santos.
