The Kansas City Royals<\/a> are coming off a season in which they missed the MLB Playoffs. However, there is still something to look forward to heading into 2026. On Wednesday, the Royals lost veteran outfielder Mike Yastrzemski to the Atlanta Braves in free agency.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOutfielder Mike Yastrzemski and the Atlanta Braves<\/a> agreed Wednesday to a $23 million, two-year contract that includes a 2028 club option with the potential to make the deal worth $26 million over three seasons. The 35-year-old hit .233 with 17 home runs and 46 RBIs in 146 games last season for San Francisco and Kansas City,\u201d ESPN wrote.<\/p>\n

Even though they missed out on Yastrzemski, the Royals could still make a splash. One name now surfacing at the winter meetings is two-time World Series champion Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n

\u201cKansas City missed out on bringing back Mike Yastrzemski, but the club might have its sights set on a bigger prize. Katie Woo and Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic report the Royals are interested in Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez,\u201d MLB Trade Rumors\u2019 Charlie Wright wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hern\u00e1ndez is now on the trade block after winning another World Series with the Dodgers, a move that comes as a surprise but one Los Angeles may be open to.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn interesting possibility has surfaced for the two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers: A trade of right fielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez,\u201d The Athletic\u2019s Ken Rosenthal wrote.<\/a> \u201cHern\u00e1ndez\u2019s name is coming up in trade conversations, according to league sources. The Dodgers view a deal as unlikely, but the idea of it, at least, is not without logic. While Hern\u00e1ndez has hit eight home runs with a combined .780 OPS the past two postseasons, he is also a big reason the Dodgers\u2019 outfield defense ranked only 18th in Outs Above Average during the regular season.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Royals are in desperate need of an outfielder, and if the Dodgers manage to sign Kyle Tucker, there would be little reason for them to keep Hern\u00e1ndez. If Kansas City offers the right package, Los Angeles may have no choice but to consider it.<\/p>\n

Hern\u00e1ndez brings a strong bat, but his defense remains inconsistent. Signing Tucker would be a clear upgrade for the Dodgers, while Hern\u00e1ndez fits the exact profile of the outfielder the Royals are hoping to add.<\/p>\n
