Part 2/6:
The primary factor lies in the Dodgers' ongoing outfield needs. The roster currently shows insufficient depth, especially with discussions of star player Mookie Betts possibly shifting toward infield positions. Thus, the Dodgers have a continued appetite for outfielders to bolster their lineup, making Hernandez still a viable option for the team.
Roster Dynamics and Future Needs
The current structure of the Dodgers' roster highlights the urgent need for additional outfield talent. With Betts, Conforto, and Tommy Edman currently filling outfield spots, questions still loom over whether the team will have enough reliable options. Chris Taylor and up-and-coming prospect Andy Pages may not provide the level of stability required for a championship-caliber team.
