The Los Angeles Dodgers recently lost one of their key players from the last few seasons with Kiké Hernandez officially signing a two-year contract with the Boston Red Sox.
Hernandez served as the Dodgers’ primary utilityman since joining the team via trade with the Miami Marlins. He provided tremendous defensive versatility in addition to coming up with a number of clutch hits in the postseason.
With Chris Taylor, Gavin Lux, Zach McKinstry and others to fill the utility role, it became clear early in the offseason that Hernandez would not be returning to L.A.
The Red Sox were one of the worst teams in baseball in 2020, so it was a bit of a surprise when Hernandez signed with them coming off a season in which he won the World Series with the Dodgers.
