Max Muncy is staying with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers accepted Muncy’s $10 million club option for the 2026 season on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez.

Los Angeles’ decision to retain the 35-year-old doesn’t come as a complete shock, with ESPN’s Jeff Passan listing him as a player that was “likely” to have his option picked up by the team on Sept. 4.

The Dodgers previously signed Muncy to a two-year extension worth $24 million in Nov. 2023.

Muncy is coming off a 2025 season with Los Angeles in which he hit .243 in 100 games, continuing to showcase his power at the plate. He racked up 19 home runs and 67 RBI, compiling a .846 OPS.

He also recorded three homers during the Dodgers’ 2025 postseason run, which included a solo blast in Game 7 of the World Series that helped Los Angeles come back to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Dodgers appear to be confident in Muncy remaining a key piece of their lineup in 2026 despite injuries taking a toll on the veteran in recent years.

He only appeared in 73 games during his 2024 campaign, missing several months as he recovered from an oblique injury. In 2025, Muncy went through multiple stints on the injured list due to knee and oblique issues.

Now, the two-time All-Star will enter his ninth year with the Dodgers after opening his MLB career with the Athletics. Muncy has already established himself as a franchise icon, winning three World Series titles with Los Angeles and sitting at No. 7 on the team’s all-time home run list with 209 homers.
