Overview

  • Rojas revealed his plan in a postgame interview with Doug McKain during the clubhouse celebration after the Dodgers’ 2–1, 11-inning NLDS clincher over the Phillies.
  • He told local media he wants to re-sign for 2026 with Los Angeles, but no negotiations or agreement have been reported.
  • Rojas debuted with the Dodgers in 2014, spent eight seasons with the Marlins, and returned to Los Angeles in 2023.
  • In 2025 he appeared at all four infield spots and hit .262/.318/.397 with seven Defensive Runs Saved and 2.1 Baseball-Reference WAR.
  • Analysts consider a modest one-year deal with the Dodgers plausible, often estimating around $5 million, though that remains speculation.
