No more beating around the bush! RE-SIGN TEOSCAR HERNÁNDEZ!
What’s the hold up? He checks every box any team could want from a right-handed power-hitting outfielder who drives in big runs in high-leverage game situations and his leadership intangibles are off the charts. Point to his statistically below-average defense and I will point out his defensive plays that saved games – including World Series games.

Teoscar has openly said that he wants to be a Dodger. Dodgers fans want Teo to be a Dodger, as does Field Manager Dave Roberts. And, according to numerous reports, Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman wants him to be a Dodger.
Do we need to remind Friedman of his own words?

If the Dodgers are serious about moving Gold Glove (and future Hall of Fame) right fielder Mookie Betts to shortstop (or preferably second base), this is not the time to nitpick and quibble in contract negotiations. Sit down with Teoscar and his agent (Rafa Nieves) and hammer out a deal that works for both sides.
Outfielders who possess the equivalent baseball talent and clubhouse intangibles as Teoscar are not available through this year’s free agency. And, it is extremely unlikely that any team will trade such a player to the Dodgers unless they are literally overwhelmed by an offer.
Get the deal done! RE-SIGN TEOSCAR HERNÁNDEZ!
