[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Los Angeles Dodgers were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series today, preventing the "Cosmic Dodgers" from winning three consecutive championships. "Sports Illustrated" Dodger writer Noah Camras wrote an article analyzing that the Dodgers must rejuvenate the team's lineup in 2027, and believes that they can consider trading "Spanish teacher" Teoscar Hernandez.

The Dodgers' main fielder lineup includes MVP Freddie Freeman, who is 37 years old, third baseman Max Muncy, who is 36 years old, shortstop Mookie Betts, who is 34 years old, Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani, who is 32 years old, and star catcher Will Smith, who is 31 years old.

Kamras wrote an analysis that the Dodgers must make the lineup younger in 2027. Unless the team is willing to let go of some core players, this task will be almost impossible to complete.

The 31-year-old utility man Tommy Edman has struggled in the past two years. He still has a three-year contract with the Dodgers worth approximately US$40 million. The Dodgers' 29-year-old star outfielder Kyle Tucker still has three years and US$180 million on his contract. The 25-year-old outfielder Andy Pages is the team's future center field candidate.

Kamras pointed out that the target that the Dodgers lineup can adjust is the 34-year-old T. Hernandez. Next year will be the last year of his contract with the team. Left field is the only fielding position where the Dodgers have a clear opportunity to rejuvenate, making 21-year-old Josue De Paula the regular starting left fielder, while seeking to trade T. Hernandez.
