"The Dodgers announced Thursday that they've agreed to a one-year contract extension with third baseman Max Muncy. He's now guaranteed an additional $10MM in the form of a $7MM salary in 2027 and a $3MM buyout on a $10MM club option for the 2028 campaign. Muncy is repped by Hub Sports Management. It's the fourth extension of the past six years between the two parties."
"Muncy will go down as one of the best minor league pickups in recent memory. He immediately broke out in Los Angeles, slashing .263/.391/.582 with 35 home runs in his debut Dodger campaign. He's been a well above-average offensive performer in each of his eight seasons with L.A. so far, save for the 2020 campaign when his .192/.331/.398 slash checked in a bit shy of average overall (98 wRC+)."
"Injuries have hobbled Muncy in recent seasons, but he's remained a threat in the batter's box whenever healthy. He was limited to 100 games last season thanks to a bone bruise in his knee and an oblique strain, but Muncy still delivered a .243/.376/.470 slash with 19 home runs and a massive (career-high) 16.5% walk rate in the 388 plate appearances he was able to take."
Max Muncy agreed to a one-year contract extension with the Dodgers that guarantees an additional $10 million: a $7 million salary in 2027 and a $3 million buyout on a $10 million club option for 2028. This marks the fourth extension between Muncy and the Dodgers over six years, following earlier pacts including a three-year, $26 million arbitration deal in 2020 and a two-year, $24 million deal with a $10 million club option for 2026. Muncy debuted with the Dodgers in 2018 and immediately produced strong power numbers. Injuries limited him to 100 games last season, but he still posted solid offensive results including a 16.5% walk rate.
