2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hernandez was acquired by the Mariners from the Blue Jays last offseason to bolster the M's lineup for 2023, and he provided 26 homers and 93 RBI in 160 games during a contract year. However, his .740 OPS was the worst since his rookie campaign in 2016 as his strikeout rate rose nearly three points to 31.1 percent. Two hot months carried his production, as he hit .337 with 13 home runs during June and August while laboring to a .222 average in 432 at-bats the rest of the campaign. He especially struggled at T-Mobile Park with an 81 wRC+ compared to a 126 mark on the road, which could make Seattle hesitant to bring him back for 2024, either via a long-term deal or the franchise tag. Hernandez entered 2023 with 73 homers and an .852 OPS over the previous three seasons (324 games), and getting away from the pitcher's park in Seattle could help him return to that form in 2024.

Had trouble seeing ball at T-Mobile
Hernandez has admitted to having difficulty picking up the ball while playing at T-Mobile Park in Seattle last season, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
T-Mobile doesn't have the friendliest dimensions, anyway, and it sounds like Hernandez might have been facing some additional disadvantages. The 31-year-old batted .295 with an .830 OPS on the road in 2023 while sporting a lowly .217 average and .643 OPS at home. Now with a more hitter-friendly Dodger Stadium to call home as well as a terrific supporting cast around him, Hernandez appears poised for a nice bounce-back 2024 campaign.

With Hernandez heading into his final season before free agency and due well north of $10 million through the arbitration process, the Blue Jays traded him to the Mariners in November in exchange for reliever Erik Swanson and prospect Adam Macko. The move comes with a park downgrade for Hernandez, though he should slot into the heart of a quality order in Seattle. Hernandez didn't come all that close to replicating his All-Star 2021 season from a run-production standpoint, but it was still an excellent campaign, as he reached 25 home runs in his third consecutive full season. He will chip in a handful of bags around the extra-base hits and strikeouts (career 29.4 K percentage). While his defense does not grade well, that's not going to cost him playing time in 2023, as the M's need his bat in the lineup every day.
