LOS ANGELES, CA — The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially secured the return of their World Series hero, veteran infielder Miguel Rojas, agreeing to a one-year contract worth $5.5 million for the 2026 season.
The move ensures that the player who delivered one of the most clutch swings in franchise history will finish his career in Dodger blue.
The Hero’s Return
Rojas, who was set to hit free agency, will return for what he has stated will be his final season as an active player in Major League Baseball.
- The Moment: Rojas cemented his place in Dodgers lore during the 2025 World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. In the top of the ninth inning of the decisive Game 7, with the Dodgers trailing by one run, Rojas hit a dramatic game-tying home run off Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman. The Dodgers went on to win the game in extra innings, securing their back-to-back title.
- The Contract: The one-year, $5.5 million deal is slightly above his previous year’s salary, rewarding his clubhouse leadership and the value of his memorable playoff performance.
- Future Role: In addition to playing a key utility role for the team in 2026, reports confirm that Rojas will join the Dodgers front office in a player development role upon his retirement after the season. This ensures the veteran presence and deep baseball knowledge of “Miggy Ro” remains in the organization.
The re-signing of Rojas, a move widely expected after his heroic performance, provides the Dodgers with a reliable defensive presence across the infield and a valuable, right-handed complement to players like Max Muncy and Hyeseong Kim as they pursue a historic three-peat.
