Dodgers Rumors: Max Muncy Contract Extension Includes Incentives Based On Plate Appearances
"Max Muncy has been a big part of the Los Angeles Dodgers' success since signing a Minor League contract with the organization in 2017 after getting released by the Oakland Athletics. Muncy is now entering his ninth season with the Dodgers, but could have potentially become a free agent at the end of 2026. However, the two-time All-Star will be sticking around for at least one more season after signing a one-year contract extension worth $7 million."
"Max Muncy's new extension includes, per source: Can earn up to $2.25M more on his $10M salary for 2026 based on PAs this year Up to $3.75M onto his $7M salary for 2027 based on his 2026 PAs (401-550) Up to $3.75M onto his $10M club option for 2028 based on 2027 PAs (401-550) - Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) February 14, 2026"
"Muncy could earn a maximum of $12.25 million this season if he registers between 401 and 550 plate appearances. Doing so would also add $3.75 million onto his $7 million base salary for 2027. If Muncy's club option for 2028 is picked up, he would earn an additional $3.75 million to go along with his $10 million base salary if he reaches the same number of plate appearances in 2027."
Max Muncy signed a one-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers for $7 million, with a $10 million club option for 2028 and a $3 million buyout. The extension contains plate-appearance incentives: up to $2.25 million for 2026, up to $3.75 million added to the 2027 salary if Muncy records 401–550 PAs in 2026, and up to $3.75 million added to the 2028 club option if he records 401–550 PAs in 2027. Muncy could earn up to $12.25 million in 2026 by reaching 401–550 plate appearances. Muncy joined the organization on a Minor League deal in 2017 and became the franchise's longest-tenured player after Clayton Kershaw's retirement. Recent seasons were limited by injuries, including 293 PAs in 2024 and 388 PAs last season due to knee and oblique issues.
