Dodgers Exercise Miguel Rojas' Club Option for 2025

The Los Angeles Dodgers are taking crucial steps this offseason, including extending a qualifying offer to star outfielder Teoscar Hernández, who may accept the $21.05 million deal to remain in LA through 2025. Hernández, who has expressed a strong desire to stay with the team after an impressive season, faces a decision by November 19 that could affect his future with the organization. Additionally, the Dodgers exercised club options for veterans Miguel Rojas and Austin Barnes, solidifying their roles for the upcoming season. Rojas, who had a productive season but faced injury setbacks, will be retained at $5 million, while Barnes's performance incentives are tied to games played. These moves come as the Dodgers aim to maintain a competitive roster and consider the implications for their top prospect, Dalton Rushing, as they navigate their offseason strategy. With the GM Meetings approaching, the Dodgers are positioning themselves for sustained success as they look to build on their recent World Series victory.
