This deal, announced on February 12, 2026, ensures Muncy's presence in Los Angeles for the 2027 season, with a team option for 2028. The contract's $7 million salary for 2027 and $10 million option with a $3 million buyout provide stability for the two-time All-Star. Muncy's performance last season was impressive, batting .243 with 19 home runs and 67 RBIs in 100 games.

At 35, Muncy's 214 career home runs and 604 RBIs in 10 major league seasons showcase his enduring impact on the team. This extension is a testament to his value and the Dodgers' commitment to building a championship-caliber roster.
