Bringing César Hernández back to Philadelphia could fill infield hole for Phillies

Second baseman César Hernández spent seven seasons as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies from 2013 until 2019. Now, just one year removed from being non-tendered by the team, a reunion between the two could make sense for both sides.

Hernández signed with Cleveland for one season last offseason for $6.25 million, and posted one of the best seasons of his career in 2020. In 58 games, the infielder had an on-base percentage of .355 and slugged .408, good for his best OPS in three seasons at .763. Defensively, Hernández earned the first Gold Glove of his career, winning the award for American League second basemen.
