Finally, a Free Agent Signing
With too much of the energy of this off-season concentrated on free agents Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a lot of productive players remain unsigned. That's still the case, eve after outfielder Teoscar Hernandez landed a one-year deal with the Dodgers. The righty power hitter, who's crushed 25 or more homers in each of the last four full seasons, helps fill one of the weak spots for L.A., which is rich in pitching and infielders -- and of course DH, with the addition of Ohtani.
With Hernandez off the market, the biggest bats still available include Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman and Jorge Soler. Just five weeks from pitchers and catchers reporting, let's hope this marks the beginning of some Hot Stove activity.
