After reportedly agreeing to a contract with Kyle Tucker, the Los Angeles Dodgers have some reason to trade Teoscar Hernández.

Reportedly, the Los Angeles Dodgers will not offload Teoscar Hernández following the arrival of Kyle Tucker, despite rumors of a trade.

After another splash made during the winter in acquiring the most coveted bat on the market in All-Star Kyle Tucker, the looming question that the Los Angeles Dodgers were immediately facing was the role that Teoscar Hernandez would play for 2026.

As the Los Angeles Dodgers entered the offseason trying to improve their outfield, one possibility that came up involved trading Teoscar Hernández. The Dodgers reportedly placed Hernández on the trade block and kicked the tires on potential deals.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez endured a down year in 2025, though he still capped it off with a second straight World Series title. The 33-year-old veteran posted a .247 batting average, .284 on-base percentage and .738 OPS with 25 home runs and 89 RBIs across 134 games.
