Teoscar Hernandez is making his intentions clear regarding a potential return to the Dodgers

Teoscar Hernández wants the Los Angeles Dodgers to re-sign him this winter. Fans want the Dodgers to pay Hernández. But whether the Dodgers decide to do so remains a mystery.

The Dodgers outfielder has expressed his desire to remain in Los Angeles for several months now, but his comments to Jon Heyman of the New York Post put even more pressure on his current team.

Hernández said of returning to the Dodgers simply: “One thousand percent.”

It was simple, but it got to the point. Hernández has made it clear that he wants to continue wearing the Dodgers uniform for years to come. It's now up to the Dodgers to decide whether to keep the fan favorite.

Fans love Hernández for more than just his big smile. He is revered by Dodgers fans for his willingness to embrace the clubhouse culture and his passion for winning.

However, Hernández's future with the team is at stake. The Dodgers have released fan favorites before. Remember Cody Bellinger, Corey Seager or Justin Turner?

The Dodgers have several decisions to make regarding current roster members, including key starters like Hernández, Jack Flaherty and Walker Buehler.

Although Los Angeles already has a star-studded roster, there is speculation that the Dodgers are looking to sign a star shortstop this offseason. Two star shortstops who are reportedly on the Dodgers' radar are Willy Adames and Bo Bichette.

President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman and general manager Brandon Gomes will have some tough decisions to make after the end of the World Series.

The Dodgers could be in for a champagne shower, but regardless of the outcome of the Fall Classic, the team will have to decide whether Hernández should stay or go.

Could we really imagine him in anything other than Dodger Blue? No matter what the fans want, the front office will decide what is best for the team going forward.

But we can still hope that this will keep Hernández in Los Angeles.
