The Los Angeles Dodgers may still be basking in the glow of another World Series title, but the business of winter is already reshaping the roster. Justin Dean has departed for the Giants, Ben Rortvedt for the Reds, and more movement is coming. Yet amid the churn, one national voice is urging the Dodgers not to overlook a crucial in-house priority.
“Rojas has been an important clubhouse veteran for the Dodgers – oh, and he hit one of the biggest home runs of 2025, too,” MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand wrote, arguing that Los Angeles should make re-signing Miguel Rojas a top offseason objective. “The veteran infielder wants to return to Los Angeles, and it would be no surprise for the Dodgers to bring him back after what we saw in October.”
Feinsand’s point is simple: Rojas may not be the biggest name on the market, but few players delivered more when it mattered.

Rojas’ postseason arc wasn’t supposed to peak the way it did. After steady production down the stretch while bouncing between second and third base, he opened the playoffs primarily on the bench. Tommy Edman’s return pushed him into a reserve role, and Dave Roberts leaned heavily on the outfield duo of Andy Pages and Alex Call.
But when the lineup sputtered and the Dodgers faced elimination, Roberts turned to the veteran who had quietly anchored the clubhouse all year. In the ninth inning of Game 7, Rojas repaid that trust with one of the most improbable swings in franchise history — a game-tying home run that set the stage for Will Smith’s winner in the 11th.
It wasn’t just a big hit. It was the hit that saved a championship.
A Leader Who Wants One More Run
What strengthens Feinsand’s argument is that Rojas himself has made his intentions unmistakably clear. He plans to play one more season — and only in Los Angeles.
He reiterated earlier this offseason that his motivation is simple: returning with the same core and giving the Dodgers a legitimate chance to three-peat.
A Logical, Likely Reunion
Rojas remains elite defensively, versatile all over the diamond, and deeply respected inside the clubhouse. He won’t command a long-term deal or a massive price tag, and his postseason heroics only reinforced his value.
Feinsand may have said it best: after what everyone saw in October, bringing Miguel Rojas back shouldn’t be complicated. It should be expected.
