Miguel Rojas Landing Spots: Predicting 3 fits for veteran shortstop amid Dodgers trade rumors

Veteran infielder Miguel Rojas turned back the clock in 2024 for the Los Angeles Dodgers, helping the club win its eighth World Series. The 35-year-old shortstop put together one of his best seasons in recent years, posting a .283 batting average with six home runs, 36 RBIs and eight stolen bases. His .748 OPS was his highest since the 2020 season.

Even though Rojas provided pivotal depth for the Dodgers in 2024, there have been rumors that the club could look to move on from him this offseason. MLB insider Sonja Chen suggested that the team could explore moving on from some of their veterans after already trading Gavin Lux to the Cincinnati Reds.

The infielder has had his $5,000,000 team option picked up by the team ahead of the 2025 season. However, this doesn't mean that he will end up suiting up for the World Series champions. If the team opts to move him, there could be a number of teams looking at the veteran to help fill some of their own voids in the infield.

Here's a closer look at 3 potential landing spots for Miguel Rojas if he becomes available by the Dodgers

#1, Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners have not been dominating the offseason by any means. Despite entering the offseason with the intention of bolstering their infield, the club has remained rather quiet. Even though Miguel Rojas would not be the blockbuster move that some fans have been waiting for, however, he is the type of player who could make an impact this upcoming season.

The Mariners struggled to get much of anything rolling offensively in 2024, which could open the door for a low-risk, high-reward addition like Rojas. If the veteran can pick up where he left off in 2024, Rojas could help the Mariners improve upon their 29th-ranked team batting average last season.

#2, San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants have done the opposite of the Mariners this offseason, adding several notable players who have revamped their roster, including Justin Verlander and Willy Adames. While Rojas might not be on their level, he's the kind of depth piece who could make a difference as the long MLB season rolls along. He could take on a similar role with the Giants as he did for the Dodgers in 2024.

#3, Pittsburgh Pirates

For better or worse, the clock is ticking on the Pittsburgh Pirates to start competing thanks to the emergence of Paul Skenes as a true superstar. Even though Miguel Rojas is not an All-Star caliber superstar, he's the type of player who could help an up-and-coming team take a step forward. Rojas is not only an effective batter at the plate, but he's also a versatile defender, which could help the club in 2025.
