Teoscar Hernandez projected salary for upcoming contract has been released
There has been a ton of rumors that the Blue Jays might be looking to bring back Hernandez since he has been phenomenal this season and is exactly what the Blue Jays are looking for in terms of offense.
Many fans believe that the Dodgers will be making a push to keep him around but as his continues to exceed expectations,his projected salary continues to go up and it has hit a point where the Dodgers probably can no longer afford him. Hernandez is expected to sign a 3 year deal worth around $73 million this off-season and with the way he has been playing, the contract will likely end up being even bigger.
Those pursuits are expected to push the price tag up significantly for Hernandez in 2024 and beyond.
