Turner and Hernandez go way back. The pair spent several years together as teammates with the Dodgers before Hernandez left in 2021. Just this year, Turner became a free agent, and he was able to reunite with his buddy in Boston after signing with the Red Sox. Their reunion turned out to be short-lived, though, with Hernandez now headed back to LA.

These players no longer had any Minor League options, which meant that it was likely that the Sox were going to need to offload one of their players. Unfortunately for him, Hernandez ended up being the odd man out, and the Red Sox have now decided to send him packing.
