Red Sox send Enrique Hernández to Dodgers in trade

The Boston Red Sox have traded Kiké Hernández back to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Minor League righties Nick Robertson and Justin Hagenman, along with $2.5 million cash considerations. Hernández, who had a strong postseason run in 2021, struggled both defensively and offensively this season. The Red Sox needed to clear a roster spot and found it by moving Hernández back to the Dodgers, where he played from 2015-2020. The 31-year-old Hernández will try to regain his form in Los Angeles, while the Red Sox acquire promising pitchers for their Minor League system.

This will further deplete the Red Sox's middle infield, which has already taken many hits this year. Infielder Enmanuel Valdéz was recalled in a corresponding move to support the regular starting duo of Enrique Hernández and Christian Arroyo.

The Yankees have been trying to unload Kiner-Falefa and Torres for most of the winter, and the Astros may be a potential trade partner. However, it remains to be seen if Houston is interested in making a deal.
