Toronto Blue Jays fans roast organization on “X” after Teoscar Hernandez’s viral home

The Los Angeles Dodgers advanced to the National League Championship Series on Friday night after defeating the San Diego Padres in Game 5 of the National League Division Series.

The Dodgers pitched their second consecutive shutout thanks to a great start by Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the work of four relievers.

Offensively, the Dodgers were propelled by solo home runs from Enrique Hernandez and Teoscar Hernandez.

Teoscar Hernandez’s blast was a moonshot to left field, culminating in his astonishing and viral bat flip.

That home run also reached several Toronto Blue Jays fans on social media, who posted that they wished the Jays still had Hernandez on the roster. Toronto traded the All-Star to the Seattle Mariners after the 2022 season. He was in the final year of his contract and would get a big bump in arbitration, so the team moved him to a deal around reliever Erik Swanson.

Hernandez could have returned to Toronto last offseason, but the team decided to pursue Shohei Ohtani instead. Both players eventually signed in Los Angeles. Hernandez will be a free agent again at the end of this season, so he will be available if the Jays want him.

He hit .272 this regular season with 33 home runs, 99 RBI and 12 stolen bases. He posted an .840 OPS. With the Jays, his best year was 2021, when he hit 32 home runs and drove in 116.

Here are some responses from Jays fans to “X” about Hernandez and his run with the Dodgers.
