00:00The Dodgers re-sign World Series hero on one-year deal.
00:04The pursuit of a three-peat is not just about firepower.
00:08It's about continuity, chemistry, and legacy.
00:11And as the Los Angeles Dodgers embark on their historic campaign to match the Yankees' fabled 1998-2000 run,
00:18they are bringing back one of their most underappreciated pillars, Miguel Rojas.
00:24The veteran infielder, entering his final year as a player, has signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal
00:31that ensures his farewell tour will take place with the Dodgers.
00:35But make no mistake, this is not merely a sentimental move.
00:39Rojas is not a statistical marvel, but what he brings to the Dodgers transcends numbers.
00:45He is the connective tissue in one of the most finely-tuned clubhouses in baseball.
00:50After the Dodgers clinched their second straight World Series title,
00:54manager Dave Roberts, not known for hyperbole, embraced Rojas and called him a Dodgers legend.
01:01Game 7 of the Fall Classic saw Rojas deliver a game-saving defensive play that preserved the Dodgers' lead,
01:08the kind of moment that lives forever in franchise lore, even if it doesn't light up the stat sheet.
01:13His overall performance at the plate may have been underwhelming,
01:16just two hits in ten at-bats, but it's the timing that matters.
01:20With the Dodgers down to their final outs, Rojas launched a game-tying home run
01:25off Toronto closer Jeff Hoffman, flipping the narrative and giving the Dodgers a chance they
01:29ultimately seized. It was the epitome of a clutch moment, delivered by a player who always seemed
01:36to find himself in the right place at the right time. Next season will be Rojas' swan song on the field,
01:41but it's not a goodbye. He will remain with the Dodgers in a player development role,
01:47passing on the intangibles, the grit, the wisdom, and the unquantifiable edge to the next generation.
01:54If the Dodgers do manage to achieve the elusive three-peat,
01:58Miguel Rojas won't just be along for the ride. He'll be, as he always has been, part of the engine,
02:04a steady, humble figure whose legacy grows not in headlines, but in moments that shape championships.
