The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially brought back infielder Miguel Rojas, securing him with a one-year contract worth $5.5 million. This agreement marks Rojas’s return to the team where his major league career began back in 2014.
Rojas, a veteran and a pivotal figure in the Dodgers’ recent championship journey, had a significant impact during the 2025 season. Notably, he rose to the occasion in the World Series, helping to turn the tide for the team. After a season of limited playtime, Rojas was called upon during a critical moment when the Dodgers were down 3-2 in the series. His performance was instrumental in the team’s victory, solidifying his status as a hero among fans.
The 36-year-old player, who has had a solid year with a batting average of .262 along with 27 RBIs and 25 runs in 317 plate appearances, also contributed seven home runs and 76 hits throughout the season. With this new deal, Rojas will not only continue as a player but will also transition into a role in the player development department after the conclusion of the 2026 season, which he has stated will be his final year as an active player.
Rojas’s career has seen him journey through various teams; after his initial season with the Dodgers, he was traded to the Miami Marlins, where he spent eight years before making his way back to Los Angeles in 2023 in a deal that sent Jacob Amaya to Miami. Although Rojas may not be among the most prominent names in the league, his reliability in crucial moments and his positive influence in the clubhouse underscore his value to the Dodgers’ ambitions. With aspirations of achieving a third successive championship, the Dodgers greatly appreciate Rojas’s contributions and leadership.
As the Dodgers prepare for the upcoming season, fans remain hopeful that Rojas will once again rise to the occasion and help lead the team to glory.
