Overview

  • The club announced Thursday it reached a one-year extension with Muncy that guarantees $10 million, including a $7 million 2027 salary and a $3 million buyout on a $10 million option for 2028.
  • The move secures the veteran third baseman through at least 2027 after Los Angeles exercised his $10 million option for 2026 in November.
  • Muncy is the Dodgers’ longest-tenured active player and the franchise leader in postseason home runs with 16, totaling 209 homers for Los Angeles since 2018.
  • Injuries limited him to 173 games over the past two seasons, yet he produced a .243/.376/.470 line with 19 homers and a 137 wRC+ in 2025 when on the field.
  • This marks the fourth extension between Muncy and the Dodgers in six years, aligning with a broader strategy that also includes adding Kyle Tucker and Edwin Díaz to keep the championship window open.
