The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a two-year $ 14 million deal with Enrique Hernandez, sources confirmed to ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Friday.
Originally acquired from the Miami Marlins as part of a seven-player exchange in December 2014, Hernandez has been a key cog for the Los Angeles Dodgers for the past six years due to his infectious energy, defensive versatility and production against left-handed pitching.
Hernandez, 29, is a .240 / .313 / .425 hitter in his career, putting him slightly below the league average, but he can provide premium defense as a middle infielder and in the outfield. From 2016 to 2020, Hernandez amassed 5.7 FanGraphs wins over replacement.
One of his biggest highlights with the Dodgers came in October, when he tied the score in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series.
MLB Network was the first to report the deal.
