The Kiké Hernández trade is officially complete, and the full return on both sides has been announced. The Dodgers are receiving Kiké Hernández and $2.5 million from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for RHPs Nick Robertson and Justin Hagenman.
The $2.5 million to the Dodgers is a majority of the around $3.6 million that Hernández is still owed this season, which is great news for the Dodgers. Alex Speier of the Boston Globe was first to report on the money going back to LA.
The price initially seemed a bit high for Hernández, who’s in the midst of his worst career year for Boston.
