Last year, Andrew Friedman said he did not want to wait until the trade deadline and then overpay for players to improve the team. That is what he thought as he signed Michael Conforto, Kirby Yates, and Tanner Scott in the offseason, all of whom were major trainwrecks. He also re-signed Teoscar Hernandez, who had his worst season ever. Now, Teo has the opportunity to reset and come back with a vengeance, OR he could be in decline. We shall see.
I keep hearing Steven Kwan’s name, but if the Dodgers traded for him, not only would they have to pay dearly in prospects and players, but Teoscar would have to stay in RF.
