This winter, the Los Angeles Dodgers are probably going to add an outfield player to their roster. Reuniting with free-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernández is Los Angeles’ best option available. Although Hernández was a vital component of the Dodgers’ 2024 World Series victory, he has not yet signed a new contract and is being pursued by other teams. In the event that Hernández leaves, what will the Dodgers do? According to a source published by Bleacher source’s Julia Stumbaugh, the Dodgers are thinking of making a blockbuster deal attempt for Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. Robert might be Hernández’s ideal fallback option.
“The Dodgers have reportedly considered deals for Chicago White Sox centre fielder Luis Robert Jr. or Chicago Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal,” Stumbaugh stated. “Robert, who earned an All-Star nod and a Silver Slugger Award for his 2023 campaign with the White Sox, saw his production dip to career lows as he struggled with a hip flexor injury last season.”The Dodgers might hope Robert can get back to the way he was two seasons ago, when he tied for the White Sox lead with 80 RBI. Robert was among the league’s best outfielders in 2023. With 38 home runs, 36 doubles, and a respectabl strong outfield defence, he slashed.264/.315/.542. By 2024, he was almostunplayable, but it was a season filled with injuries, so it’s hard to judge the year he had.
If the Dodgers pony up the prospect capital to acquire him, they would be adding a dynamic young outfielder with an unbelievably high ceiling.
