Dodgers may trade Teoscar Hernández to create roster space
Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers are considering trading outfielder Teoscar Hernández this offseason. Recently, the team promoted their top prospect, Josue De Paula, directly from Double-A to fill a role amid injuries, but his potential impacts Hernández’s future with the club. With a $22.1 million salary due next year and a $15 million option for 2028, Hernández could be expendable if the Dodgers want to give De Paula a permanent spot. Hernández's performance has declined since 2024, while De Paula shows promise, suggesting a roster shake-up could benefit the organization.
