LOS ANGELES — Outfielder Teoscar Hernández has finalized a $23.5 million, one-year contract with the Dodgers, the latest deal by big-spending Los Angeles that includes deferred money. Hernández agreed to defer $8.5 million that will be paid in 10 equal installments each July 1 from 2030-39. Los Angeles has been baseball's biggest spender this offseason, committing more than $1.2 billion to two-way star Shohei Ohtani, pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow, and Hernández. The Dodgers also hired former All-Star outfielder Raúl Ibañez as vice president of baseball development and special projects, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the move.
