The Los Angeles Dodgers and free agent Teoscar Hernández have not communicated about a potential contract for over a week, according to Doug McKain from Dodgers Nation. The lack of progress in negotiations suggests Hernández may not accept the current offer, prompting speculation about his future with the team.

Hernández had an impressive season, making the All-Star Game and winning the Home Run Derby, which raises expectations for his contract. McKain indicates that the Dodgers may need to improve their offer to retain him, as he has proven to be a valuable asset for a World Series contender.
