Kiké Hernández will stay where he wants to continue his MLB career.
The veteran infielder agreed to a deal on Sunday to remain with the Los Angeles Dodgers, ESPN’s Alden González reported. Hernández confirmed the news with a video posted to his X account with the caption, “walking through the open door.”
The comment stems from when president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said during the Dodgers' annual Fan Fest that the door “will never be closed” for a reunion.
Hernández spent the last two seasons in LA — his second stint with the team — after the Red Sox traded him to the Dodgers in 2023. He helped Los Angeles win the World Series when he batted .278 with five hits (one triple) and three runs in the five-game series against the Yankees.
The Dodgers signed Hyeseong Kim, leading to thoughts that a reunion with Hernández would be difficult. But Hernández is well-liked among the team and the fans, and there’s no doubt he brings plenty of energy to the clubhouse.
