Dodgers Pick Up Max Muncy’s $10M Option; Ninth Season Locked In

The Dodgers exercised Muncy’s 2026 club option, keeping their longest-tenured player for a ninth season. At 35, he posted his best all-around bat since 2021: .243/.376/.470, 19 HR, .846 OPS in 100 games, then smashed a pivotal Game 7 eighth-inning homer. Injuries (knee, oblique) interrupted a torrid May–June surge. With a three-peat in sight, Muncy is a crucial addition.
