The Dodgers need a right-handed hitter, and Red Sox infielder Kike Hernandez could be a potential trade target for L.A.
Hernandez had a very good first season with the Red Sox in 2021 and played a key role in the team making a surprising run to Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. But since then, his production at the plate has declined. He is hitting just .218 with six home runs, 31 RBI and a .276 on-base percentage in 85 games this season.
A return to the Dodgers could be the change of scenery Hernandez needs to get back on track. He's very familiar with the Dodgers after playing for them from 2015 through 2020. The Dodgers need a right handed hitter, and Hernandez fits that description. He's also a versatile player who can play in the infield or outfield.
Hernandez has an expiring contract and it's hard to imagine his Red Sox tenure lasting beyond this season. If that's how the Red Sox view the situation, then it makes sense to trade him and get any kind of asset in return.
