It’s hard for the Los Angeles Dodgers to complain about much in light of their second-straight World Series win, but not everything went perfectly this season.<\/p>\n

Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez’s regression on both sides of the ball in the first season of a three-year, $66 million contract was somewhat concerning. Hern\u00e1ndez was still there to provide some crucial home runs in the playoffs, but his 100-point dip in OPS and brutal defense in right field seem to have given the Dodgers some pause.<\/p>\n

Last week, The Athletic reported that the Dodgers had discussed<\/a> Hern\u00e1ndez’s name in trade conversations with other teams, though nothing was suggesting at the time that a deal was close. And it made sense that the Dodgers would at least listen, because Hern\u00e1ndez’s right-handed power could be so appealing to opposing teams that they’d be willing to pay a premium.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, on Monday, Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes did his very best to downplay the possibility that Hern\u00e1ndez would be traded while speaking to reporters at the winter meetings. <\/p>\n

Gomes asserted that a trade of Hern\u00e1ndez “doesn’t feel likely,” per Fabian Ardaya<\/a> of The Athletic.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously you can never say never on those types of things, but Teo, I know that\u2019s come up,\u201d Gomes said, per Ardaya. \u201cThat\u2019s not something we anticipate at all.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Dodgers have every right to extract a high price for Hern\u00e1ndez, and frankly, they shouldn’t be pushy about trying to get it. There’s no need to shop him, because they have a spot for him in the lineup, whether he sticks in right field or moves back to left, where he played last year. <\/p>\n

So Gomes, while he didn’t shut down the possibility of a trade altogether, summed up fairly clearly why a trade is unlikely: The Dodgers likely aren’t expecting some mystery team to put together a package worthy of consideration.<\/p>\n
