Dodgers 3B Max Muncy agrees to 1-year, $10M extension
Max Muncy, the Dodgers' franchise leader in postseason home runs, secured a $10 million extension that could keep him through 2028 to maintain veteran lineup depth.
- On February 12, 2026, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced a one-year extension for Max Muncy worth $10 million guaranteed, including a $7 million salary for 2027 and a $10 million club option for 2028.
- With postseason heroics to his name, Muncy is entering his ninth season and is the franchise leader with 16 postseason home runs, including one in the eighth inning of last year's World Series.
- Recent injury issues mean Muncy hasn't played more than 100 games since 2023, despite last season's.243 average with 19 home runs and 67 RBIs in 100 games.
- The Dodgers exercised Max Muncy's option for 2026, bringing his 2024-26 earnings to $34 million, while a separate $4.5 million deal for utilityman Kiké Hernández adds offseason depth.
- After a 2017 release by Oakland, Muncy returned via Triple-A and the one-year extension could keep him through 2028, preserving a veteran presence in the Dodgers' clubhouse.
