The New York Yankees have seen another potential utility infielder slip through their grasp as Kiké Hernández re-signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. Hernández, known for his versatility across multiple positions, was on the Yankees’ radar this offseason as they sought to bolster their infield depth. However, with Hernández returning to the Dodgers, the Yankees will need to explore other options.
Hernández’s 2024 Performance
In the 2024 season, Hernández posted a batting average of .229, with 12 home runs and 42 RBIs, resulting in an OPS of .654. While these numbers are modest, his ability to play multiple positions made him an attractive target for teams seeking a flexible roster piece.
