"His career took a fortuitous turn since signing a Minor League contract with the Dodgers in April 2017 upon getting designated for assignment and released by the then-Oakland Athletics. After a successful stretch to begin his Dodgers career, Muncy signed a three-year, $26 million contract extension in February 2020. Then in August 2022, Muncy agreed to a one-year, $13.5 million contract extension that included a $10 million team option with incentives for 2024."
"November 2023 brought about another extension, as Muncy and the Dodgers agreed to a two-year, $24 million deal in lieu of the team deciding on their option. Though, that contract agreement included a team option for the 2026 season. According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, the Dodgers exercised their $10 million option on Muncy to keep him under contract in 2026: Source: Dodgers picking up Max Muncy's $10 million club option for 2026. No surprise there. - Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) November 6, 2025"
"The Dodgers had up to five days after the World Series concluded to make a decision on Muncy's option for next season. Muncy's contract option getting exercised had long been viewed as the likely outcome. A secondary pathway was the two sides coming to terms on a new extension. Even with some of his offensive struggles and time missed due to oblique injuries over the past two years, Muncy's contract has remained team-friendly."
Max Muncy completed his eighth season with the Los Angeles Dodgers by winning a third World Series title. He signed a Minor League contract with the Dodgers in April 2017 after being designated for assignment and released by the Oakland Athletics. He signed a three-year, $26 million extension in February 2020, a one-year, $13.5 million extension with a $10 million team option in August 2022, and a two-year, $24 million deal in November 2023 that included a team option for 2026. The Dodgers exercised the $10 million option for 2026. Muncy earned $12 million in both 2024 and 2025 and will earn $10 million in 2026. He has had offensive struggles and missed time with oblique injuries over the past two years, and he turns 36 in August of next season.
