Evaluating Nationals’ Wilmer Difo, Phillies’ Cesar Hernandez As Options For Dodgers At Second Base

With the beginning of Spring Training rapidly approaching, the Los Angeles Dodgers have continued their search for a second baseman and are exhausting all options.

In addition to the Minnesota Twins’ Brian Dozier, Detroit Tigers’ Ian Kinsler and Tampa Bay Rays’ Logan Forsythe, the Dodgers have reportedly touched base with the Texas Rangers regarding former top prospect Jurickson Profar.

Two more possible fits for Los Angeles have surfaced over the past week — a pair of National League East rivals in Cesar Hernandez of the Philadelphia Phillies and the Washington Nationals’ Wilmer Difo.

Hernandez, entering his age-26 season, enjoyed the best year of his career in 2016.
