The Los Angeles Dodgers have picked up third baseman Max Muncy's $10 million club option for the 2026 season, a league source told The Athletic. The decision brings back the franchise's all-time postseason home run leader for another year following the team's back-to-back World Series championships.

Muncy produced 3.6 WAR in 100 games during the 2025 season despite missing significant time with knee and oblique injuries. The 35-year-old slugged 19 home runs and posted an .846 OPS while remaining an impactful presence in the lineup.

Muncy delivered three home runs during the 2025 postseason, including a crucial solo blast off Trey Yesavage of the Toronto Blue Jays in the eighth inning of Game 7. The homer extended his career playoff total to 16, cementing his status as the Dodgers' postseason power leader.

The three-time World Series champion signed a two-year, $24 million contract after the 2023 season that included the 2026 option. Muncy acknowledged the deal came below his market value but prioritized remaining with Los Angeles for the rest of his career.

"It's starting to get a little comfortable up here," Muncy said at the Dodgers' World Series parade this week. "Let's keep it going. Best team in the world. Best city in the world."

Muncy's connection to the Dodgers traces to 2017, when the Athletics released him at the end of spring training. Then-general manager Farhan Zaidi, who had drafted Muncy while with Oakland, offered him a minor-league contract with Los Angeles.

The left-handed hitter broke out with 35 home runs in 2018 and earned two All-Star selections. His 209 home runs as a Dodger trail only Duke Snider's 389 among left-handed hitters in franchise history.
