Dodgers close to re-signing Kiké Hernández after trading Manuel Margot to Twins

PHOENIX —

The Dodgers’ new-look roster isn’t set in stone yet.

On Monday, the team agreed to a trade that will send outfielder Manuel Margot to the Minnesota Twins and, as a result, was closing in on a one-year contract with super-utility man Kiké Hernández, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly.

The moves make sense for a Dodgers team still trying to improve around the margins.

They will get the $10 million they owe Margot — the veteran outfielder they acquired from Tampa Bay as part of the Tyler Glasnow trade this offseason — off their books.
