The 37-year-old infielder broke the news to his teammates inside the clubhouse immediately following the Dodgers' Game 4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Reflecting on his tenure in Los Angeles, Rojas told reporters that his time with the team over the last four years changed his life as he prepares to move on to the next chapter of his career.
For baseball fans and the organization, the departure of the veteran signals the end of a 13-year career in the Major Leagues. His exit leaves a gap in the Dodgers' lineup, where he was a key contributor during back-to-back championship runs in 2024 and 2025. Beyond his defensive reliability, Rojas etched his name into team history by hitting a ninth-inning game-tying home run during Game 7 of the 2024 World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays.
According to Sportsnet, Rojas finished his career with 1,401 appearances, recording a slash line of .260/.313/.363 and a .677 OPS. His career path began and ended in a Dodgers uniform, with a middle stretch spent playing for the Miami Marlins.
While his playing days have concluded, industry speculation suggests his involvement in the sport may continue. Reports from MLB Trade Rumors indicate that Rojas could transition into a coaching or managerial role in the near future, citing potential interest from teams seeking his experience on the field.
