Hernandez spent six seasons with the team from 2015 to 2020, winning a World Series in 2020, before returning to the team midway through last season after a trade with the Boston Red Sox.
In a combined 140 games in 2023, the San Juan, Puerto Rico native batted .237 with 11 home runs, 67 runs batted in and an OPS of .646.
Having also suited up for the Houston Astros and Miami Miarlins, Hernandez is a veteran of 1,057 games over 10 seasons.
The deal for Hernandez will be completed when the trade of Manuel Margot to the Minnesota Twins is made official.
