Price Tag Revealed To Sign Teoscar Hernandez

Price Tag Revealed To Sign Teoscar Hernandez

The Red Sox cheaped out on Teoscar Hernandez last offseason and he laughed in their face after winning a World Series with the Dodgers. Now Boston has another chance to sign him but this time a qualifying offer is attached to him.

Hernandez, 32, is coming off a season where he just hit 33 homers and is an important righty power bat for any lineup. After a strong season in LA, what does his free agency price tag look like this go around?

Mark Feinsand had the following:

“The Dodgers and Hernández seemed headed for a reunion, but the two sides haven’t been able to reach a deal thus far,” Feinsand wrote. “That opened the door for other teams — namely the Red Sox and Blue Jays — to jump in on the outfielder, who is seeking a three-year deal in the $22-24 million a year range, per sources.”

If this is really what it costs, I’m not sure what teams are waiting for. This is a more than reasonable price for what Teoscar provides. Sure, he strikes out more than you would like but $22-24 million per year is more than fair considering the power he brings. Plus, he’s not slow either and ranked fairly high in sprint speed a year ago. For a team like the Red Sox, they need a righty power bat in the worst way possible, especially after losing Tyler O’Neill to the Orioles. They really need to replace that spot in the lineup.
