9. Teoscar Hernandez

Perhaps the most interesting player on this list, Teoscar Hernandez broke out as a true slugger and most fans should hope to keep him on the team. If Hernandez has spent his final days in a Dodgers uniform, it'll be because Los Angeles secured an upgrade.

He belted three home runs in the postseason, serving as one of the most dangerous hitters in the lineup. With Juan Soto's impending pursuit being the largest storyline of the offseason, Hernandez is the logical cut candidate if the front office is successful.

Hernandez had 33 home runs and 99 RBIs in his lone year with the team. It's obvious he deserves a large contract and could be a foundational piece in future years, yet he's not at Soto's level and could become a cap casualty if ownership has its way.

That being said, keeping Hernandez would be a fine consolation prize. He has the type of charasmatic energy that fans rally around with enough talent to support the expectations.

Whether or not Hernandez will return will become obvious over the coming weeks. Should the Dodgers find a better option, they'll let him walk. If they fall short, Hernandez will return and continue to make fans excited to have one of the best values in the sport handling a corner outfield spot.
