Overview
- Max Muncy’s new deal guarantees $7 million for 2027 and includes a $10 million club option for 2028, per the team and subsequent breakdowns.
- The 2027 salary can escalate by up to $3.75 million based on 2026 plate appearances: $20,000 for each PA from 401–500 and $35,000 for each from 501–550.
- If the 2028 option is exercised, the same escalator structure would apply off his 2027 plate appearances; reporting also notes an implied $3 million option buyout.
- Muncy’s 2026 season still carries previously negotiated incentives of $15,000 per plate appearance from 401–550, capped at $2.25 million.
- Analysts call the pact team-friendly as durability will drive upside earnings; Muncy, limited to 173 games over the last two years, said he was willing to leave money on the table to remain a Dodger.
