Toronto Blue Jays former outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is currently a free agent and his projected contract has been announced in which the Blue Jays can certainly afford.
The Blue Jays are in need of some offensive help for next season since during 2024, the only reliable hitter they had was Vladimir Guerrero Jr and going deep in the playoffs with one solid hitter is impossible.
The Blue Jays projected contract for Teoscar Hernandez revealed
Hernandez is coming off an incredible season with a career high 33 homeruns to go along with 99 RBIs, a .272 batting average and .339 on base percentage which helped the Los Angeles Dodgers win the World Series.
According to MLB reporter Caleb Moody from Just Baseball, Hernandez is set to sign a four year deal worth $85 million with an average salary on $21.25 million per season which would be a steal for the Blue Jays for what they would get from Hernandez.
Caleb Moody of Just Baseball recently named the Blue Jays as a fit for Hernández, who the site recently projected for a four-year, $85 million contract. -Roberts
Despite Hernandez stating at the end of the season that he wants to stay with the Dodgers, they announce the signing of pitcher Blake Snell yesterday to a $182 million contract which is why they likely cannot afford Hernandez anymore.
The Major League Baseball world is still recovering from the bombshell announcement that two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell had signed with the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. LA inked Snell for five years, $182 million to create MLB's most intimidating rotation. -Roberts
The Blue Jays need offense and bringing back a player like Hernandez that can help the team with those issues plus is already loved by the fans would be a win-win situation.
The only problem here is that Ross Atkins would need to admit defeat by offering Hernandez a contract since he traded him away in 2023 and signing him would prove that it was a mistake.
