Miguel Rojas re-signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a one-year deal and has treated the season as his last in Major League Baseball. He wants to approach each day knowing it could be his final time playing at Angel Stadium or in a particular series. He says his decision is to go home and pursue the next chapter, potentially helping the team from another role. He would reconsider only if the Dodgers win another championship, then would discuss options with his wife and evaluate what the organization wants for the future. He notes any return would require both sides to want the same outcome.
"“This is my last year,” Rojas began. “That's something that I said last year. This is going to be my last year playing professional baseball. That's the way I want to see it. I want to see it as coming every single day, knowing that it was my last time playing at Angel Stadium. Or this is my last time playing in this series for my career.”"
"“There's one possibility, and it's winning another championship. I'm going to have to sit down with my wife and see what is out there for me, especially with this organization. Because I wouldn't play for any other team that is not the Dodgers at this point in my life and career. My decision is already made that I want to go home and start pursuing the next chapter of my life and professional career, which is helping this team from another role. So that's decided.”"
"“The only way I will have a conversation - and this is not 100% - it has to be both ways wanting the same thing. I don't know what the team is going to want for next year. And it's not just me saying, I want to come back if we win. They might have a different way they want to go. But if we win this year, it would be really hard no”"
