Miguel Rojas hasn’t broken with LA yet

The The Los Angeles Dodgers and Miguel Rojas share history, drama and ringsand his final MLB season is now set after re-signing to a one-year, $5.5 million contract. He confirmed it, and yet one thing is still unreal: the Dodgers veteran who saved Game 7 of the World Series with the ninth-inning, game-tying run, he never had a bunt.

Miguel Rojas’ Dodgers story stretches back to his 2014 promotionin a December trade to the Miami Marlins, in a January 2023 trade back home. He helped win back-to-back World Series in 2024 and 2025. One final run is now in front of the lights. The final pursuit of moments that resonate. And still no silly nights. It feels late.

Rojas directly explained the desire and without any drama. “I really hope so. That’s one of the things that I’ve been waiting for. Getting a bullpen from the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium would be one of the things that I’d like to do before I retire,” he told Doug McCain of Dodgers Nation.

Miguel Rojas told me he hopes to get his first Dodgers pigeon this year:

The answer elicited laughter and respect. With the confidence and energy of a fan, McCain replied, “Oh, it’s happening, Miguel. There’s no doubt about it.” It sounded less like a prediction and more like a promise.

Dodgers hair dye jokes, clutch history and what’s next

Then came the fan-favorite lighter side. Shortly after, a viewer asked why Miguel Rojas dyes his hair blonde every offseason. They liked the look. In response, Rojas joked that they won the World Series when he painted it, so why mess with what works. In the end, it was classic Rojas — competitive, relaxed and playful all in the same breath. All the while, the Dodgers’ clubhouse relied on that presence through the tense months and October noise.

So far, the resume is safe. Promotion. Trade away. Trade back. Championships. The final MLB season is upon us. So the question that remains is a simple and emotional one under the lights of Dodger Stadium: In his final season, will Miguel Rojas finally get his bullpen?
