MLB/Dodgers Trade Glasno To The Twins To Retain Tool Man Hernandez

Margo is making $10 million this season and has a $12 million team option ($2 million buyout) for next year. He batted.264 with 38 Rbis and 4 hits in 99 games last season, playing all three outfield positions.

As soon as the Margo deal closed, Dodge kept Hernandez. He started last year with the Red Sox, where Yu-cheng Chang competed with him for a chance to play. Hernandez was traded to the Dodgers in the middle of the season, and his batting performance improved after he moved to the Dodgers, with five hits, 30 Rbis, and a.262 batting average in 54 games.

Hernandez had off-season hernia surgery and is expected to return for the opening day. With new Dodgers shortstop Gavin Lux returning this season, he and outfielder James Outman are both left-handed hitters, so Hernandez is expected to get a chance to pitch against left-handers.
