As more free agents continue to get signed, we await the news of slugger Teoscar Hernandez, who, according to Mark Feinsand, has gained interest from the Boston Red Sox. In addition, Feinsand mentioned that the Red Sox favor Hernandez over Anthony Santander if they can’t land Juan Soto. While Hernandez wants to remain a Dodger, he is also fancied by the idea of playing in Fenway Park. Hernandez is also a supporter of Alex Cora, according to Peter Abraham. The Dodgers also reportedly want to keep Hernandez. The market for Hernandez will surely fuel up once Soto signs with an organization. What’s compelling about this year’s trade market in MLB is that many teams’ decisions are weighing in on Soto’s decision.
The Red Sox intend to pursue Teoscar Hernandez if they don’t sign Juan Soto, per source. Boston is believed to prefer Hernandez over Anthony Santander. The Blue Jays are also in the mix for Hernandez, though it appears they prefer the switch-hitting Santander.
