I could have been a free agent still, waiting for the money from teams that might have more need than the Dodgers, but, as I have always said, for me money is not the most important thing
Teoscar Hernandez highlights Dodgers’ treatment of his family
Since the end of the World Series, Teoscar Hernandez made it clear that his desire was to have a new stage in Los Angeles after entering free agency, after a magical season of 33 home runs and driving in 99 runs, in addition to being key to the title, although beyond sporting success, the treatment of the Dodgers to his family was decisive to stay.
The saga of Teoscar Hernandez and his decision on where to play next season after becoming a free agent following his World Series triumph with the Los Angeles Dodgers seemed to be set to run until 2025, until it was finally announced that he would be returning to the blue and white, signing a three-year, $66 million contract.
“Not all players have the opportunity to reach free agency, for me, for my team and my family it was very important to hear what the Dodgers had to say, we did not rule out any possibility, one tries to find what is best for the family and for one’s career,” said the ‘Chino’ in the chat with ‘Grandes en los Deportes’, in which he added: “I felt super comfortable, it was very important how they treat the family, that influenced a lot in the decision to return with the Dodgers.”
