Entering his age-37 season, Miguel Rojas still has plenty to give to an MLB team, and while he hopes to re-sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers, he will sign with the Atlanta Braves.

The Braves have tried to patch their hole at shortstop this offseason, trading for Mauricio Dubón to replace Nick Allen. While Dubón is an upgrade over Allen, who was the weakest offensive players in baseball last year, he is still not the long term answer for a team with championship expectations.

Let’s breakdown why Rojas would be an excellent fit with the Atlanta Braves.

This is just a prediction, NOT a report!

Miguel Rojas Signs With Atlanta Braves

Atlanta has posted a weak .586 OPS from the position since the start of 2024, and team president Alex Anthopoulos has already acknowledged that the front office is “very open” to making another move.

Dubón’s elite defense is undeniable, and he even produced +8 outs above average in limited action at short in 2025, but he has never played the position regularly and remains a below average bat.

Here’s a published quote from Miguel Rojas about wanting to re-sign with his team:

“I want to go back and play for the Dodgers. I think we deserve a chance to three-peat together. I think we deserve an opportunity to run it back… This is going to be my first priority — to sign here with the Dodgers for one more year.” 

This is very clear that Rojas wants to stay with the Dodgers, but with Los Angeles’s aspirations to get the biggest stars, don’t be shocked if they get a major star to take Rojas’s spot.

Miguel Rojas Stats

During the 2025 MLB Season, Rojas played 114 games, and he played 68 at 2nd base, 23 at third base, and 22 at shortstop. This versatility is key for his future team because he’s not limited to one specific spot. Prior to the 2024 season where he played some 2nd and 3rd, he was primarily a shortstop.

In 2025, Miguel Rojas slashed .262/.318/.397 with a .715 OPS over 114 games for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

He hit 7 home runs, drove in 27 runs, scored 35 times, and added 5 stolen bases. While those numbers don’t place him among the league’s top sluggers, they reflect a solid performance for a veteran utility infielder.

In terms of league-wide standing, Rojas’ 2025 batting line was modest compared to the top hitters, but his overall profile — batting average near the league norm and an OPS hovering just above .700 — put him in a useful middle tier of everyday-role players.

Rojas truly shone when it mattered most — in the 2025 playoffs and especially the World Series. In Game 7 of the World Series against the Blue Jays, he delivered a clutch, game-tying ninth-inning home run that helped the Dodgers force extra innings and eventually claim the championship.

That swing turned a possible defeat into one of the most dramatic finales in recent memory, and it underscored his value as a “veteran glue guy” who thrives under pressure. In addition to that, he made one of the biggest defensive stops at 2nd base in the 9th inning to save the tie.
