The Los Angeles Dodgers surprised baseball when they agreed to a one-year, $17 million deal with outfielder Michael Conforto Sunday night.
But, while the rest of the world was anxiously awaiting to see where Juan Soto would end up, the Dodgers most likely already knew they weren’t getting him and moved on to another left-handed hitting corner outfielder in Conforto.
Now that Soto has signed his expensive 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets, the Dodgers can focus their attention on Teoscar Hernández, who is still a free agent.
But does the signing of Conforto impact whether or not the Dodgers sign Hernández?
