The Dodgers wanted to keep Teoscar Hernández.
As the sides grinded through a weeks-long negotiation for the free-agent outfielder this offseason, those truths never wavered.
And on Friday, those desires finally came to fruition, with Hernández agreeing to re-sign with the Dodgers on a three-year, $66-million deal, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly, that will bring back one of the most popular, productive and important players from last season’s World Series team.
