The Los Angeles Dodgers and outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (32) have agreed to a three-year, $66 million deal, which includes a $23 million signing bonus.

The contract's 2028 club option is for $15 million while over $23 million is deferred.

Hernandez also posted the news with "I'm back" on his Instagram story. The outfielder took a one-year deal with the Dodgers this past season that paid off in the end with a World Series ring. Now, the veteran is heading back to LA.

Hernandez is coming off of a successful season with the Dodgers, slashing .272/.339/.501/.840 while putting up 33 home runs with 99 RBI and 12 stolen bases. The nine-year veteran also won the 2024 Home Run Derby during the All-Star Break and earned his third Silver Slugger award.

This past season marked Hernandez's six out of the last seven where he hit at least 25 home runs while his 55 walks set a career high. During the Dodgers' World Series run, Hernandez hit three home runs with 12 RBI and 10 walks, reaching base in 15 of the 16 playoff games.

Now, he looks to help the Dodgers make a run for a second straight World Series push.
