Max Muncy Breaks Silence After Inking New Two-Year Contract with Los Angeles Dodgers
In a statement released today, Max Muncy finally broke his silence regarding his new two-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The deal, reportedly valued at $24 million, will keep the versatile infielder with the team through the 2026 season, signaling the Dodgers’ continued confidence in his abilities.
“I’m extremely excited to continue my journey with the Dodgers,” Muncy said. “This team has been like a second family to me, and I’m looking forward to contributing to our success in the coming years. We have a great group here, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”
Muncy, who has been a key figure for the Dodgers since 2018, is known for his power-hitting ability and his consistency at the plate. Despite a slow start in 2023, Muncy managed to rebound with a solid performance, finishing the season with 35 home runs and 100 RBIs.

The decision to extend Muncy’s contract reflects the team’s long-term strategy of retaining core players while maintaining their championship-contending roster. Dodgers president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman, expressed his enthusiasm about the new deal, saying, “Max has been an integral part of our team for several years, and his leadership, both on and off the field, has been critical to our success. We’re thrilled to have him with us for the foreseeable future.”
The news of Muncy’s extension was met with excitement among fans and teammates alike. Manager Dave Roberts also offered his congratulations, stating, “Max is the kind of player you want on your team for the long haul. His work ethic, energy, and passion for the game are contagious. We’re all looking forward to what the next couple of years will bring.”
With the contract secured, Muncy and the Dodgers are now focused on building towards another successful season, with eyes on their ultimate goal: a World Series championship.
