Miguel Rojas had the biggest moment of his MLB career for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, hitting a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth inning of Game 7.<\/p>\n
Just a couple days later, though, he found himself as a free agent. He’s not the only one Dodger to hit free agency as Kik\u00e9 Hernandez is also a veteran without a contract. Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain asked Rojas if he’d like to re-sign with the Dodgers in the offseason, as well as his motivations to do so.<\/p>\n
“I would say I want to go back and play for the Dodgers, especially after what happened during the World Series,” Rojas said. “I think we deserve an opportunity to three-peat together. That’s something that I’m always going to say is my main motivation. It’s not about me getting money or getting the right deal or anything like that. It’s like keeping this core together for one more year and giving us an opportunity to three-peat.<\/p>\n
“…I really love the opportunity we had to keep the same guys, bringing Kik\u00e9 back, bringing [Teoscar Hernandez] back, bringing al the guys back for one year to go back-to-back. It was amazing. I think we deserve an opportunity to stay together.”<\/p>\n
Rojas has been solid for the Dodgers since returning to LA ahead of the 2023 season, having shown solid defensive skills and a serviceable bat.<\/p>\n
