The Mets reportedly offered outfielder Teoscar Hernandez a two-year contract before the free agent decided to re-sign with the Dodgers.
Hernandez received a two-year contract from New York, according to a report Saturday by Newsday’s Tim Healey.
The 32-year-old is returning to Los Angeles on a three-year deal for $66 million, according to a report Friday by ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The Dodgers’ agreement with Hernandez includes a $15 million fourth-year option, $23 million in deferred money and a $23 million signing bonus, Passan added.
Hernandez — a two-time All-Star, including the 2024 season in Los Angeles — slashed .272/.339/.501 with 33 home runs and 99 RBI over 154 games.
The Dodgers originally signed Hernandez last January on a one-year, $23.5 million contract.
