Miguel Rojas announces retirement after NLCS

sportsOct 16, 202631210

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas announced his retirement immediately following Game 4 of the NLCS, a 6-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on October 15, the fptrack.com report said. The 13th-year player officially finishes his career after completing 12 professional seasons. Rojas closed the postseason with two hits, one walk, and two strikeouts in six at-bats across four games, recording a hit and a walk on October 14 during the series. Los Angeles pulled him before his first at-bat in his final game, and the club’s depth chart at third base will continue to rely on Max Muncy and Enrique Hernandez. The announcement brings Rojas’s fantasy baseball eligibility to an end, according to the same report. Local and national coverage noted his role in the Dodgers’ recent championships and postseason moments, with several outlets publishing obituaries and retrospectives.

Miguel Rojas confirmed he has played his last game, he’s retiring and moving into some role with the Dodgers going forward. He’s still wearing his cleats, said it’s going to be very hard to take them off

more Miguel Rojas: “I talked to the guys, it was really emotional after the game. I told them that I’m going to be loyal, I want to stay here. I want to wear this uniform or this logo in a different capacity and continue to make the organization better. But this is it, this is it as a player.”

Who is now the longest tenured Dodger?

At least the home crowd can make their final farewells to him (as a player). But like a Pokémon, he is only evolving!

He was hurt during the 2024 WS and I remember he was constantly standing outside the dugout talking at all the players, pacing, swinging a bat around. I knew then that he'll be a manager eventually.

Rojas goes out a Dodger legend. What a career. He’ll have a job with the team as long as he wants it.

Still one of the most improbable postseason homers I can recall in my lifetime

Thank you Miggy Ro, for a great career and one of the greatest moments in Dodgers and baseball history. Glad you are staying in the organization.

Miguel Rojas is retiring from Major League Baseball. He began his career with the Dodgers in 2014. He ended it back in LA for four years where he won two World Series rings — and had one of the biggest home runs in franchise history. Congrats on an incredible career. www.si.com/mlb/dodgers/...

In today's free newsletter: The Brewers are up 3-0, Max Muncy's cogent analysis as to why that is, Miguel Rojas needs new cleats, what I think will happen with the lockout and why the fate of the Dodgers has nothing to do with it, earliest baseball memories, and how I've been finding joy.

Miguel Rojas’ cleats feature back-to-back World Series trophies with “2026 Loading” written alongside them. 👟🏆

I too hate when I see something load and the progress bar gets stuck and never completes.

His plans for this weekend include putting a “404” or “503” over the third one?

El Chingon 🫡 Thank you for everything, Miguel. One of the best decisions Andrew Friedman made was to bring you back in ‘23. You helped lead the Dodgers to back to back championships. Tremendous leader. Salud! #Dodgers #MiguelRojas #LetsGoDodgers #WeLoveLA

perhaps the Blue Jays could emulate this next season by going after one of those scrappy run manufacturers who‘s practically allergic to hitting home runs. like Miguel Rojas

That being said, I hope to see Alex Vesia, Evan Phillips, Kiké Hernandez, Tarik Skubal, Miguel Rojas (if he doesn’t take a well deserved front office position) and anyone else I forgot in Dodger blue for many more games to come.
