Los Angeles Dodgers utility player Miguel Rojas sent a message to Dodger fans after returning to LA on a one-year, $5.5 million deal this offseason.
“I’m so excited to be back for next year, what would be the last year of my playing career,” Rojas said. “I can’t wait to play in front of you all, once again, at Dodger Stadium every single night with one goal on our mind, which is winning another championship and being able to three-peat in front of you all. Thank you very much for the support through all of the years, and I can’t wait to see you in Spring Training.”
Rojas began his MLB career with the Dodgers in 2014, but left to the Miami Marlins via trade that offseason. After spending eight seasons on the east coast, Rojas returned to LA ahead of the 2023 season.
