Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman addressed the future of Enrique Hernandez, the spunky fan-favorite utility man, who is a free agent.
Hernandez recently underwent surgery on his left elbow. He had played through an injury to the same elbow last season, despite missing some time due to it on the injured list.
He is set to miss the start of the 2026 season as he recovers, potentially leading to his signing happening later on in the offseason.
