Yankees favored to sign Teoscar Hernández for $100 million contract

The New York Yankees are favored to sign outfielder Teoscar Hernández to a five-year, $100 million contract. This comes as they compete with the Los Angeles Dodgers for his services, following his successful season with the Dodgers. Hernández hit 33 home runs in 2024, earning his third Silver Slugger Award and contributing to a World Series win. His strong performance has increased his market value after a one-year deal with the Dodgers. The Yankees' interest in Hernández may depend on the outcome of their pursuit of superstar Juan Soto. If they miss out on Soto, they may seek Hernández as an outfield replacement.
