Breaking: Shockingly Twins are Among Finalists to Sign 32 years old Utilityman Kike Hernandez Amid Byron Buxton Injuries History…

The Minnesota Twins are reportedly among the final four contenders to sign free agent utility player Kike Hernandez, as indicated by a report from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Hernandez, who is 32 years old, boasts a career batting average of .239, along with 108 home runs and 393 RBIs over his decade-long Major League Baseball tenure. Alongside the Twins, the Los Angeles Angels, San Diego Padres, and San Francisco Giants are also vying to secure Hernandez’s services.

Hernandez faced a setback last season, likely attributed to his double hernia surgery on October 24. Despite a challenging start with the Boston Red Sox, where he batted just .222, Hernandez showed improvement after being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. With the Dodgers, he achieved a .262 batting average in 54 games and went 3 for 8 in three postseason appearances.

If Hernandez joins the Twins, he could offer valuable depth, particularly in the outfield, where Minnesota lacks right-handed hitters. Given Byron Buxton’s history of injuries, Hernandez could serve as a reliable option in center field should Buxton face an extended period on the injured list.
