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.
- •Teoscar Hernández has one year left on his contract worth $22.1 million.

- •De Paula's promotion may lead to Hernández's trade consideration.
