Dodgers Re-Sign Legend Miguel Rojas for 2026, Eyeing Third Straight World Series Victory
  • Rojas posted strong defense in 2025, with a .983 fielding percentage and eight RBIs in the postseason, underscoring his ongoing impact.

  • The Dodgers have agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract with Miguel Rojas for 2026, keeping him in Los Angeles as a veteran presence who will contribute on the field and help with player development and potential front office duties in 2027.

  • He is widely regarded as a Dodgers legend, highlighted by his Game 7 World Series-winning homer that helped seal the championship.

  • The move comes as the Dodgers, fresh off consecutive World Series titles, aim for a potential three-peat under president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and the current front office.

  • The team projects a championship-contending 2026 season with Shohei Ohtani and a strong supporting cast in place to chase a third straight title.

  • The deal reinforces a player-friendly culture under Friedman and strengthens loyalty in a star-driven market.

  • While the Dodgers have not officially announced the deal publicly in the report, multiple sources confirmed the agreement.

  • Rojas remains focused on contributing to the Dodgers’ offense and defense as they pursue a three-peat, prioritizing keeping the core intact for one more year.

  • The agreement was reported by Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase on December 3, 2025, and later highlighted by FantasyPros.

  • Career stats highlight a .273 batting average, .328 on-base, .404 slugging, 654 plate appearances, and a notably low strikeout rate.

  • Rojas’ return is seen as a smart move to bolster the roster, with ongoing consideration of outfield additions and other moves via free agency or the trade market.

  • Teammates, including Mookie Betts, have acknowledged his leadership, and he won the Roy Campanella Award for the second straight year.
