For much of the offseason, trade rumors have surrounded veteran slugger Teoscar Hernández after the 33-year-old outfielder put together a slightly disappointing 2025 campaign. At the same time, it's been well known that the Los Angeles Dodgers have been shopping for outfield upgrades, given that, even with Hernandez in tow, they have a need out on the grass.

However, now it seems we can finally put those rumors to bed as a little nugget from Jon Heyman suggests the Dodgers are telling the truth and Hernández is not on the block.
