Miguel Rojas had already penciled in his retirement for the end of the 2026 season. But now, the 37-year-old Los Angeles Dodgers infielder is leaving the door open just a crack—and it all hinges on one historic possibility.

"If we three-peat," Rojas told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, when asked what could make him reconsider sticking around.

That's not just wishful thinking. The Dodgers are the reigning back-to-back World Series champions, and they've reloaded for another run. With most of their core returning and offseason additions like Kyle Tucker and Edwin Díaz, a third straight title in October is a very real possibility. If they pull it off, Rojas wants to be part of the chase for a fourth.

"I started thinking about, 'You know what, this is a real possibility of making a deep run and winning another championship,'" Rojas said. "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 turned 37 in February, but he insists his decision to retire isn't about his ability on the field. "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," he said. "I can prepare to go and play shortstop for 100 games. But it's bigger than that. I'm family-oriented."

With two children, Aaron and Amber, the 13-season veteran knows the grind of a baseball schedule all too well. Missing his son's baseball tournaments is a sacrifice that weighs on him. Retiring after this season would give him the chance to be more present at home.

But if the Dodgers make history with a three-peat, don't be surprised to see Rojas lace up his cleats for one more run at something legendary.
