It was Miguel Rojas' home run in the 9th inning of Game 7 that saved the World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and in return, he has been overpaid for what is going to be the final season of his playing career in 2026. The Dodgers have signed Rojas to a one-year deal worth $5.5 million. Rojas has already stated his desire to retire after next season and is expected to join Los Angeles' player development department next offseason.
It's a steep price to pay for a utility infielder who could have been easily replaced this offseason, but it admittedly, would have been an awkward look, considering the impact the 36-year-old infielder had to close out the World Series.
