Miguel Rojas' possible 'retirement' apparently has stipulations tied to Dodgers' success

Over his 13-year MLB career, Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas has never made an All-Star team, nor has he taken home any individual awards. But that doesn't mean his name isn't etched into baseball history.

Rojas took care of that assignment in the 2025 World Series by hitting one of the most iconic home runs in the history of the sport, saving the Dodgers' season in the process. It was a moment that launched Miggy into modern baseball fame and also changed the course of his remaining career.

Rojas has admitted that he may have retired following 2025 had the World Series not gone the way it did, but he ultimately decided to come back to the Dodgers for one final season in 2026.

Or ... does Rojas actually have more left in the tank than that?

Speaking as a guest on AM 570 LA Sports Radio this week, Rojas admitted that he has not completely ruled out coming back in 2027, but it would require one thing to happen.

Miguel Rojas might not retire after 2026, after all, Dodgers fans!

"There's one possibility [that could lead to me playing longer] ... it's winning another championship," Rojas said, before also explaining that the Dodgers would first have to be interested in his services if he were to seriously consider extending his career into '27.

"I'm going to have to sit down with my wife and see what is out there for me, especially with this organization, because I wouldn't play for any other team that is not the Dodgers at this point ... If we win this year, it would be really hard not to have a conversation with my family," Rojas continued.

It should be noted that Rojas, 37, is putting together a very solid 2026 season so far. His .286/.316/.687 slash line is above his career pace, and he provided important defensive depth in the infield for LA while Mookie Betts was out for five weeks or so with an oblique ailment.

Miguel Rojas might have a future as an MLB manager ahead of him

Even if this does end up being Miggy's final season as an MLB player, his career in baseball is likely far from over. That's because Rojas would make an excellent MLB manager, according to current Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts.

It would be nice to see Rojas stick around Major League Baseball, seeing as his likable personality and high-IQ approach to the game are always a joy for fans to experience. He's the kind of player who fans attach themselves to for his relatability, humility, and clutch gene. No matter how Rojas' career ends, he'll always live on in Dodgers lore as a legend.
