Kiké Hernandez wants to return to the Dodgers 

Hernandez has now played 10 seasons with the Dodgers, as his one-year deal has just now run its course with the team eliminated from the playoffs. Entering the offseason as a free agent, his top desire is to return to the team, and if not, he wants to play for a “winning team,” per Fox Sports.

“Every time I look at my career, I kind of obviously go back to this place. I’ve been here the longest. I hope I get back,” Hernandez said in the clubhouse. “I feel like I have a lot left this year. I thought it was gonna be a good year for me on the personal side.”

“I thought that once my surgery healed, I’d finally be healthy and able to play,” Hernandez continued. “And then, of course, s*** happened. But yeah, I would love to be back. I would love to have one more try, trying to win another one. I don’t really know what’s gonna happen. I hope I’m back.”
