The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Thursday that third baseman Max Muncy has agreed to a two-year, $24-million contract extension that will keep Muncy with the club through 2025. The deal also includes a $10-million club option for 2026. The move guarantees the $14-million club option in the veteran slugger’s previous contract for next season.
The 33-year-old infielder has spent six of his eight major league seasons with the Dodgers after beginning his career with the Oakland Athletics in 2015. He has been in the majors since 2018, earning two All-Star selections and helping L.A. capture a World Series title in 2020. Muncy had a .212/.333/.475 in the 2023 season, with 36 home runs and 105 RBI in 135 games, marking the most home runs and RBI he has racked up in a single season.
