Dodgers Predicted to Sign Star Infielder to $155 Million Deal

“For Mookie, winning is always No. 1,” Gomes said during the GM Meeting. “So I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s like, ‘Hey, this is the best thing. I’ll play wherever.’ I think catching is probably out of the realm of possibility, although I’m sure he would be good at that as well.

“But yeah, I think it’s a lot of conversations with him as well. I know the toll on the body is less in the infield for him. So you can make arguments on both sides of it,” Gomes added. “But the beauty of Mookie is (he’s) the most selfless superstar we’ve ever been around. And that permeates through the team.”

“I mean, these conversations were like, ‘Hey, let’s figure out Mookie and how he fits into the infield,'” Gomes said. “It could be second, it could be short. We don’t really know yet. We need to continue to have those conversations. But I think it’s much more (that) Mookie’s looking to get back in the infield more than anything else.”

Betts has played second base, shortstop, center field, and right field in the MLB.

Dodgers Also Predicted to Bring Back Teoscar Hernandez

Along with signing Adames, Brown predicted the Dodgers to bring back Teoscar Hernandez.

Hernandez signed a one-year deal with the Dodgers in the offseason and Brown predicts him signing a three-year deal to return to LA.

“Probably his best full season at the plate (.272/.339/.501 with 33 homers) when you adjust for ballpark and league results. Starting to slip on defense at age 32. Predicted contract/destination: Three years, $63 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers,” Brown wrote.

Hernandez was a key player for the Dodgers this past season and a key reason why they won the World Series. Hernandez has also said his priority is to re-sign with LA.
