Teoscar Hernández could have signed with the Red Sox. Here’s why he chose the Dodgers

LA Times  

Home Run Derby champion Teoscar Hernández turned down an offer from the Boston Red Sox to sign with the Dodgers this offseason. As a free agent this past season, Hernández said, he received interest from the Angels as well as the Dodgers and Red Sox, but his final decision was between the latter two teams. Hernández told “Baseball Isn’t Boring” that the Red Sox gave him the impression they’d be willing to increase their offer to three years after some maneuvering on their end. Hernández said he saw what was happening in Los Angeles and knew he “couldn’t wait any longer” on the Red Sox.
