"The three-time Cy Young award winner and champion announced his retirement earlier this season, and had quite the send off to ride into the sunset. Kershaw will not be going back on his retirement and decide play in 2026, but president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman did float the idea of an open-ended job offer f or the MVP to come back in some capacity around the team."
"It is hard to see a world where Rojas isn't wearing a Dodgers uniform in 2026. Even before his Game 7 heroics of launching a solo home run when his team was down to its final two outs to extend the season, his veteran leadership makes him an invaluable piece to the puzzle. Rojas had a productive season at the plate, and was a Gold Glove-nominated utility player."
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured their second consecutive World Series championship in seven games. The offseason begins while several players remain free agents requiring roster decisions for 2026. Clayton Kershaw announced his retirement and will not return as a player, though president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman floated an open-ended job offer for him. Miguel Rojas provided veteran leadership and a Game 7 solo home run, had a productive season, earned a Gold Glove nomination, and announced 2026 will be his final year as a player. Kiké Hernández delivered October heroics and a Game 6-ending double play and is likely to return. Michael Conforto struggled, batting .199 with 12 home runs and 36 RBIs.
