Dodgers News: Giants and Padres Named Among Finalists For Kiké Hernández
Kiké Hernández is expected to be choosing his next team very shortly, and we now have a list of the finalists. According to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, Hernández will be choosing between four teams. The finalists included the San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins.
“Free-agent super-utility man Kiké Hernández is choosing between four teams, according to sources briefed on his discussions. The finalists, in no particular order, are the Los Angeles Angels, Minnesota Twins, San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants.”

Each one of these teams could use a player like Hernández, but only one of them will win the sweepstakes. Hernández has been a fan favorite for years with the Dodgers, so Los Angeles fans would love him to head to Minnesota.
The Twins do likely give Hernández the best chance to win next season between all the options. He is still a serviceable utility man who can help any team in multiple ways.
His ability to play different positions across the field allows for major flexibility when building out the roster. Hernández deserves to head to a solid spot, so hopefully, he leaves California for the Midwest.

Sad to see Kike leaving the Dodgers again, but such is the business of baseball, which makes young men rich, but without any predictable sense of continuity. Kike seems like such a good guy and a good player and has always performed for the Dodgers, but the same business that pays so well also has no sense of loyalty.
Best of luck to the guy with a funny name no matter where he goes. Seems like a class act, there’s not enough of them. Good luck Kike!
