For some Dodgers fans in Los Angeles, today is a very sad day. Kiké Herandez has become a fan favorite around Chavez Ravine in recent years, winning the hearts of fans with his brilliant personality and humor.
Unfortunately for these fans, Kiké will not return to the Dodgers. The free agent superuser supposedly signed a new agreement with Red Sox today this is 2 years. The news comes just hours after it was reported that the two sides could have a deal this weekend. He will receive $ 14 million in the deal, by Mark Feinsand.
Hernandez came to the Dodgers in a deal that sent Dan Haren, Dee Gordon, Miguel Rojas and money for the Miami Marlins in 2014. He came the following year with Los Angeles and became a big part of the cast for the rest of his time there. Kiké spent 6 years in total with the team, providing the team with a lot of flexibility on the field as well as at the base.

While he had many great moments while in a Dodger uniform, his biggest came in the NLCS 2017 against the Cubs. With Los Angeles facing the opportunity to return to the World Series for the first time since 2017, Kiké hit 3 homeruns to put them on top. He drove in 7 races as LA advanced to the World Series against Houston.

It is rumored that Kiké would be in talks with several baseball teams in the off-season, including the Dodgers. The combination of his glove and arm, along with his ability to hit shots with his left hand, would make him a great addition to any team. He ends his time in Los Angeles with a cut line of .240 / .312 / .425 and as World Champion.
