The New York Mets made a strong push to sign All-Star outfielder Teoscar Hernández before he ultimately chose to re-sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers. According to Tim Healey of Newsday, the Mets offered Hernández a two-year contract earlier this week in their efforts to bolster the lineup around Juan Soto.

One of the standout players for the Los Angeles Dodgers during last postseason has secured a new deal with the team, further solidifying one of the league's most formidable lineups for the upcoming season.

Hernandez now will rejoin Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman atop the Dodgers' star-studded lineup. He started 104 games in left field and 50 in right field last year, and will take that same role in 2025 and beyond alongside outfielder Tommy Edman and the recently acquired Michael Conforto.
