In Hermosillo’s case, the news appears to act as a retirement announcement for the former outfielder, who just turned 31 last month. Hermosillo hasn’t played anywhere since joining the Mexican Winter League during the 2023-24 offseason, and his last taste of affiliated ball came in the form of 66 games with the Yankees’ Triple-A club in 2023.
Hermosillo was a 28th-round pick for the Angels in the 2013 draft and spent his first three (2018-20) big league seasons in a Halos uniform. The Angels defeated Hermosillo after the 2020 season, and after signing with the Cubs, Hermosillo played 47 games for Chicago over the next two seasons. Overall, Hermosillo hit .167/.268/.283 over 229 major league plate appearances.
While he wasn’t considered a top player during his time in the minors, he came on the radar with some strong numbers on the farm, including a .262/.355/.492 slash line, 56 home runs, and 42 steals (in 59 attempts) over 1,194 PA at the Triple-A level. With his speed and all-field ability in the outfield, Hermosillo seems well suited to impart his wisdom to the next generation of Dodgers prospects. We at MLB Trade Rumors congratulate Hermosillo on his career achievements and wish him the best in his coaching endeavors.
Dahl announced his retirement in December, officially closing the door on a career that included seven MLB seasons and an All-Star title in 2019 during his time with the Rockies. This coaching gig is Dahl’s second stint in the Dodgers organization, as he signed a minor league deal with the team in June 2023 that did not result in big league playing time, but Dahl did appear in 54 games with Oklahoma City.
