Coming down from 3-2 in this past October's World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers are now back-to-back world champions. As president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and the front office prepare their roster for a run at a potential three-peat, one Fall Classic hero will return to Dodger Stadium for his final season in 2026. Per X (formerly Twitter) account Talkin' Baseball, Miguel Rojas will return to Los Angeles for one final season in 2026.

“Miguel Rojas is staying with the Dodgers in what will be the last season of his career,” reported the baseball-focused page. “He will remain with the organization beyond 2026 in the player development department.”

Bringing Rojas back into the fold is a smart move by Friedman and company. The Dodgers really need just another outfielder, and their position players should be set. Will it be Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, or another big free agent? Or will Los Angeles elect to try their hands on the trade market? In any case, Rojas' game-tying home run in Game 7 of October's World Series is a moment etched in franchise history. Does Rojas have any more big moments left in him for 2026?

Dodgers look to three-peat as World Series champions in 2026

Other than the bullpen and the one outfield spot, it feels like the Dodgers are ready for another run at the title. The starting rotation should add prized rookie Roki Sasaki back to its ranks. Teaming up with fellow Japanese countrymen Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, LA's starting rotation feels like it could be the best in Major League Baseball.

Add in All-Stars Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow, and the Dodgers will certainly feel good about their rotation and its depth as well. Meanwhile, another late-inning arm or two to team up with Tanner Scott would be wise. Is Rojas just the first of a few more moves? Or will Friedman and the LA brass move at a slower pace this offseason?
