Dodgers agree to a 2027 deal with Max Muncy and bring back Kiké Hernández on a 1-year contract
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to a 2027 contract with infielder Max Muncy, adding $10 million in guaranteed money.
Los Angeles also agreed to a $4.5 million, one-year deal with utilityman Kiké Hernández.
The Dodgers exercised Muncy’s $10 million option for this year shortly after the end of the postseason, part of a deal that will wind up paying him $34 million for 2024-26. Now he’s set to make $7 million in 2027, with a $10 million team option for 2028 or a $3 million buyout.
Muncy is entering his ninth season with the Dodgers. He hit .243 with 19 home runs and 67 RBIs last year.
The 35-year-old Muncy holds the team record with 16 postseason home runs, including one in the eighth inning of Game 7 of the World Series last season that cut Los Angeles’ deficit to one. The Dodgers ultimately beat Toronto in 11 innings to become the first repeat champion in a quarter-century.
The 34-year-old Hernández returns to the Dodgers after hitting .203 with 10 homers and 35 RBIs for them last season.
