The Robovisbiggest offseason spending spree in baseball history just got even bigger.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, who had already committed over $1 billion in contracts to new players since the end of the 2023 season, added another piece to the puzzle on Sunday with by agreeing to terms with free agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez.

According to multiple media reports, the former Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays slugger will receive a one-year, $23.5 million deal. That likely fills the one remaining spot the Dodgers were looking to address this offseason − after previously signing two-time AL MVP Shohei Ohtani and highly coveted Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and acquiring right-hander Tyler Glasnow in a trade to bolster this year's roster.

Hernandez, 31, is a two-time Silver Slugger award winner who fills the Dodgers' need for a right-handed hitting outfielder. Since 2020, he leads the majors with a .626 slugging percentage against left-handed pitchers.

Traded to the Mariners last offseason, he hit .258 with 26 homers and 93 RBI in Seattle.
