Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins speaks on free agent Teoscar Hernandez returning
Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins was asked directly about the possibility of having outfielder Teoscar Hernandez return to Toronto as a free agent this off-season as they are looking for some offensive help.
Atkins stated that the Blue Jays are very interested in a reunion with Hernandez since the reasoning is clear since he fits their needs perfectly but they are far from the only team interested.
Ross Atkins said the Blue Jays "absolutely" have interest in a reunion with Teoscar Hernandez
Toronto's GM went onto to add that Hernandez is also a great teammate, person and player which is why the team has so much interest in him.
"Teo is a great teammate, great person, great player," Atkins said Monday at the Winter Meetings in Dallas. "Certainly could be a piece to the solution." -Atkins
If the Blue Jays are truly that interested in Hernandez, they should make him a solid offer as quickly as possible since he has been getting attention from multiple teams this winter from the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers and others.
The toughest part of all of this will be trying to pull him away from Los Angeles as he has stated on multiple occasions his main goal this winter is to return to the Dodgers.
