The Dodgers and free agent outfielder Teoscar Hernández are still at an impasse when it comes to final contract details.

With the two teams yet to compromise or agree on the details of a reunion, the Dodgers have enlisted other right-handed outfielders in case the team is unable to bring Hernández back.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Dodgers have considered Seiya Suzuki of the Chicago Cubs, Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox and free agent utility man Ha-Seong Kim as possible landing options should they decide to reunite with the reigning home team miss out on run derby champions.

The Cubs have made it their mission to improve their outfield, recently acquiring Kyle Tucker from the Astros and moving Cody Bellinger to the Yankees, while the Dodgers begged for Robert a month before this year’s trade deadline.

According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, manager Dave Roberts met with well-known actor and Dodgers superfan Bryan Cranston over the weekend, where the two discussed, among other things, Freddie Freeman’s legendary Game 1 walk-off grand slam in the World Series discussed.

“That was the most exciting game I’ve ever been to,” said Cranston, a lifelong fan who was 5 years old in 1961 when his father took him to his first Dodgers game at the Coliseum. “Complete strangers hugged each other. ”

The baseball world suffered a devastating blow on Saturday with the death of Rickey Henderson, the greatest base stealer in baseball history.

Henderson’s death was first reported by his former Yankees teammate Dave Winfield, with the New York Post confirming that the 65-year-old died of pneumonia just four days before his 66th birthday.

Henderson holds several all-time records, including the record for stolen bases (1,406), caught stealing (335), and runs scored (2,295). He played for nine teams in his major league career, ending his historic 25-year career with the Dodgers in 2003.

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal writes about Henderson’s legacy, including a story from former Seattle Mariner and current MLB Network analyst Harold Reynolds.

“I’m coming home. The season ends. The phone rings. “It’s Henderson” — he always speaks in the third person,” Reynolds said on The Dan Patrick Show in 2019. “I said, ‘What’s wrong, Rick?’ He says, “Man, you should be ashamed of yourself.” I say, “What are you talking about?” He says 60 stolen bases. You should be ashamed of yourself. Rickey has 60 points at halftime.’ Click. Hung up.’”
