The Los Angeles Dodgers' picking up Max Muncy's $10 million option for 2026 was one of the least surprising moves that will happen this offseason. Despite the struggles Muncy had to open the season, as well as the Alex Bregman and Nolan Arenado rumors that have persisted in recent years, Muncy's turn to glasses revived his offensive approach, and he added to his October legacy during the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Much like Miguel Rojas returning to Los Angeles, even if they did overpay him, it just made sense for Muncy to be back in 2026.
