There's no denying it: Teoscar Hernandez's performance with the Los Angeles Dodgers has been award-winning, and something the Tigers could’ve used this season.
Last offseason, Hernandez was coming off a one-year, $23.5 million contract with the Dodgers. He finished the season with a slash line of .271/.339/.840. He also hit a career high 33 home runs, 4.3 WAR, and his second All-Star nod. It was his best season at the plate.
He was adamant that he wanted to stay a Dodger during the 2024 campaign and offseason — especially since he had just won a ring — but just think about an alternative universe where the Tigers overpaid for the slugger.
