The Los Angeles Dodgers, the champion of the World Series, succeeded in retaining outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (32), one of the main players of the championship.

The U.S. sports media "ESPN" reported on the 28th (Korea Standard Time) that "Dodgers and Hernandez agreed to a three-year, $66 million contract."메이저놀이터

According to the media, Hernandez will wear the Dodgers uniform from 2025 to 2027, and includes a $15 million team option in 2028. It will be activated when the Dodgers want to extend their contract.

The Dodgers have not officially announced it yet, but Hernandez virtually confirmed the contract by posting on his SNS, "I'm back."

Hernandez joined the Dodgers on a short-term contract worth 23.5 million U.S. dollars for one year ahead of this season. He expressed his commitment to enter the free agent market once again by making good performances this season.

He hit .272 with a .339 on-base percentage and a .501 slugging percentage in 154 regular-season games, with 33 homers and 99 RBIs.

His postseason performance was even more impressive. Hernandez contributed greatly to his team's victory, hitting .350 with one homer and four RBIs in five World Series games against the New York Yankees.

The Dodgers continue their offseason aggressive moves despite winning the World Series, showing their will to win for two consecutive games.

The Dodgers re-signed Blake Treinen and Tommy Edman after recruiting two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell and outfielder Michael Confoto.

Starting pitcher Walker Buehler moved to the Boston Red Sox, but he is also known to be leading the recruitment of Japanese pitcher Rocky Sasaki, which is expected to strengthen his power.
