Miguel Rojas Will Rethink Retirement if Dodgers Three-Peat in World Series

“I started thinking about, ‘You know what, this is a real possibility of making a deep run and winning another championship,’” Rojas said, per Rosenthal. “And then what’s gonna happen? I can’t really go home with the opportunity to do something legendary, trying to go four in a row.”

Rojas Said Family Time Is The Reason He Wants to Retire

Rojas turned 37 in February. He said he still feels like he can play multiple more seasons but he wants to be able to spend more time with his family.

“When I made this decision to retire and play for one more year, it’s not because I felt I couldn’t play. I can still play,” Rojas said. “I can prepare to go and play shortstop for 100 games. But it’s bigger than that. I’m family-oriented.”

Rojas has two children, Aaron and Amber. With his hectic baseball schedule, it is difficult for him to be able to attend events for his children like his son Aaron’s baseball tournaments.

Retiring after this season would give Rojas a chance to spend more time with his family. But if the Dodgers pull off a three-peat, the 13-season veteran could postpone retirement for another season.
