SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Even after a busy offseason, the Dodgers weren't quite done making moves toward their 2024 roster.
The Dodgers on Monday traded veteran outfielder Manuel Margot and prospect Lane Donkong to the Twins in exchange for shortstop Noah Miller, who was ranked as the No. 23 prospect in the Twins' system.
Margot's departure to Minnesota ultimately opened the door for the Dodgers to re-sign fan favorite Quique Hernandez on a one-year, $4 million deal to play a super-utility role. Both transfers were officially announced by the club on Monday afternoon.
Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomez said: “We've had a lot of conversations and having Kike back and having all the ability to clock time, it just adds another layer of versatility. ” he said. “Obviously, Manny is still very fit. Kike, we felt a little bit better fit and we also know what he can bring to the clubhouse come postseason time and hopefully. There's
The Dodgers acquired Margot from the Rays in December in the same deal that brought Tyler Glasnow to Los Angeles. The Dodgers are scheduled to pay Margot $10 million in 2024, and there was always a chance the club could trade the veteran outfielder before the start of the season.
At some point in the offseason, the Dodgers held trade talks with the Red Sox that could have sent Margot to Boston in exchange for longtime Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen. Sources told MLB.com that those discussions never progressed past the early stages and quickly entered the process.
As for Hernandez, he gives the Dodgers another right-handed option off the bench against a left-handed pitcher. Hernandez played a key role in the Dodgers' World Series victory in 2020 before being traded to the Red Sox as a free agent. However, at the last trade deadline, the Dodgers made a move to sign the ultra-utility man, making it a nice reunion for both sides.
This offseason, the Dodgers and Hernandez were in constant communication and there was always mutual interest. However, the Dodgers were starting to run out of room on the roster for Hernandez. The Athletic reported Sunday that Hernandez lost to the Padres, Angels, Giants and Yankees. However, Hernandez's deal quickly came together as the Dodgers became interested in Margot.
“We've been in touch with Kike at various times throughout the offseason, and we've always had an interest in each other. But obviously, there were challenges with the way we built the team. And once we lined up I wish I could,” Gomez said. Kike's contract with Minnesota freed up a spot and we were able to get it done. ”
Hernandez, who underwent sports hernia surgery this winter but is expected to be ready for the season opener in Seoul, South Korea, will give the Dodgers infield depth. He has the ability to play anywhere on the diamond, including serving as a backup first baseman behind Freddie Freeman. But perhaps most importantly, Hernandez could help give James Outman a few days off as a center fielder against left-handed pitchers.
In 54 games with the Dodgers last season, Hernandez improved significantly at the plate, hitting five home runs and posting a .731 OPS. Prior to that, Hernandez appeared in 86 games with the Red Sox, hitting just six home runs and posting a .599 OPS.
“We're very focused on how to help the team and how that works with the clubhouse and the dynamics of what's going to be there from the stretch run into the playoffs, hopefully. I think he did, and we know what Kiké does on that front,' ” Gomez said. “So that was the driving force.”
