The Los Angeles Dodgers and outfielder Teoscar Hernández are still trying to work out a deal, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports.
Nightengale spoke exclusively with Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain on Wednesday at the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings in Dallas and answered questions regarding the best available bat in free agency.
“I think pursuits have gotten more heavy from other teams, the teams that didn’t get (Juan) Soto.” Nightengale said. “I still think he ends up with the Dodgers, maybe for a little bit more money than the Dodgers originally thought.”
Because of how expensive some of these free-agent contracts are going for, Hernández and his camp might have spiked their asking price, leading to a hold-up.
