Blue Jays consider Teoscar Hernández as backup plan if Juan Soto deal falls through

The Toronto Blue Jays are focused on signing superstar Juan Soto this offseason, but face tough competition from several teams. Soto's contract is expected to exceed $600 million, making it a challenging pursuit. If the Blue Jays cannot secure Soto, they may consider re-signing former outfielder Teoscar Hernández, who is projected to earn $71 million. Hernández previously played six seasons with Toronto before being traded. The Blue Jays' outfield performance has struggled recently, and Hernández could provide a significant boost. With the Dodgers likely out of the Soto race after signing Blake Snell, the Blue Jays may have a better chance to bring Hernández back.
