The Los Angeles Dodgers have one of baseball's most stacked rosters, with some of the best pitchers and hitters littered all across the lineup.
While there are plenty of superstars and big-money players on this team, the World Series hero last year wasn't one of those players. Instead, Miguel Rojas was the hero in Game 7. After the 2026 season, though, Rojas planned to retire.
However, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale , Rojas is reconsidering his retirement plans and is possibly coming back for one more season.
Miguel Rojas considering postponing retirement by a year
"Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas says he's thinking about changing his mind about retiring, and that it's possible he'll stick around for another year before he goes into a hybrid coaching/front office role," Nightengale reports.
This is some very interesting news for the Dodgers, as they might be getting one more season out of Rojas than initially expected.
Nothing is set in stone, and he could still stick to his plan to retire after the 2026 season. But for now, it appears that there's a chance he's coming back for one more season.
Nightengale shared a quote from Rojas that shows the beloved veteran's mindset on his future in baseball: "I want to help young players any way I can," Rojas said. "And one day I want to manage. I believe I can do it."

The 37-year-old veteran infielder is playing his 13th season in the Major Leagues, and while he's played just 77 games and posted 0.9 bWAR, his .744 OPS is something the Dodgers would benefit from having in the lineup.
His $5.5 million contract this season has been worth it, and would be worth it for the Dodgers to re-up this offseason if Rojas doesn't want to retire.
After his game-saving, game-tying home run in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, Rojas should be able to come back to the Dodgers if he wants to. Besides, he's still a decent player and would be worth keeping around for one more season.
