Miguel Rojas Eyes Final Season as Dodgers Pursue Another World Series Title
With the Los Angeles Dodgers sharpening their focus on a fourth World Series ring, one of the franchise’s seasoned veterans is weighing a long‑term decision that could shape the team’s future.
Miguel Rojas, 37, told Us that he is contemplating retirement after the 2026 campaign. He said the pace of Major League Baseball is accelerating and that maintaining peak condition is vital for a club that is intent on another championship run.
Rojas noted that the Dodgers’ roster is steadily getting younger. "I have to keep up if I want to contribute," he said. He added that a player’s life off the field matters just as much as performance on it. “It’s not just about what you do on the field,” he said. “It’s what your life is outside of the field.”
The veteran’s thoughts about stepping away are tempered by family commitments. Rojas and his wife, Mariana, live in Miami, Florida, with their two children, Aaron and Skye. He said the long travel schedule of a Major League season makes it difficult to be present for every milestone. “I’m so grateful and so lucky to have the ability to play this game for a long time and have the opportunity to be on this team and travel the world with them,” he said. He added that he wishes he could be there more often to answer his son’s questions about baseball and help his daughter with schoolwork.
Despite those considerations, Rojas is not yet ready to hang up his cleats. He told Us that he still feels capable of producing and that he wants to give the Dodgers the best chance to win. “If we win this year, it’s going to be really hard for me to go home,” he said. He also expressed a desire to add a fourth World Series ring before retiring.
Rojas’s 2025 season was highlighted by a historic game‑tying home run in the ninth inning of a World Series Game 7, making him the first player to hit such a clutch shot in that situation. The achievement cemented his status as a key contributor to the Dodgers’ recent championships.
Outside of baseball, Rojas has invested in CasAzar Tequila, a brand known for its award‑winning, ceramic‑bottled spirits. He said the tequila is “more than a drink” and invites fans to try it. The investment reflects his interest in business ventures beyond the field.
As the Dodgers enter the final stretch of the regular season, Rojas remains focused on his role as a teammate. He said he wants his legacy to be defined by his willingness to step up when the team needs him. The 2026 season will be his last if he follows through on the retirement plan he has discussed.
The Dodgers’ front office has not yet announced any formal retirement plans for Rojas, and the player has not issued a public statement beyond the interview. The team will continue to rely on his experience as the season progresses, while fans and analysts watch to see whether he will indeed retire after the 2026 campaign.
