The idea of Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez being linked to the New York Yankees is, at first glance, a strange one.
However, when we start to factor in what the Yankees are, we can never count them out in terms of being connected to players.
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, there was a time when the Dodgers were willing to listen to offers for Hernandez, and he now questions whether the Yankees could get involved.
“The Yankees are also looking at the trade market, but that isn’t exactly stocked with great options. They’ve checked in on White Sox underachieving outfielder Luis Robert Jr., according to sources, and also Cubs star second baseman Nico Hoerner (as Pat Ragazzo of On SI reported), as well as at least a couple others. The Dodgers reportedly were at least at one time willing to listen on slugging outfielder Teoscar Hernández (via Ken Rosenthal), but it’s unknown if there’s been any talk with the Dodgers,” he wrote.
Moving on from Hernandez would be a shocking decision in most scenarios, and I'm not saying the Dodgers would do it, but we can never really put anything past Andrew Friedman. There's a reason why he's the best executive in baseball, and if he gets a deal for Hernandez that just makes too much sense to pass up on, he'll probably take it.
However, it's tough to find a perfect trade for the Yankees and Dodgers to make, considering both of them would want different things in a package.
