Dodgers Re-Sign Miguel Rojas to One-Year, $5.5 Million Deal for 2026 Farewell

The 36-year-old World Series hero plans to retire after 2026, then move into the Dodgers’ player-development staff.

Overview

  • Rojas confirmed in a team video that 2026 will be his final season, following multiple reports of the agreement first noted by Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase.
  • In 2025 he hit .262/.318/.397 with a 100 wRC+, logging most of his starts at second and third base while providing versatile infield defense.
  • He delivered a game-tying ninth-inning home run in Game 7 and made critical defensive plays in the final two games of the World Series.
  • Manager Dave Roberts and teammates have praised his leadership and mentorship, including his work guiding Mookie Betts’ transition on the infield.
  • Once the deal is finalized, the Dodgers’ 40-man roster will sit at 38 players as the club prioritizes depth and continuity for a potential three-peat.
