World Series hero Miguel Rojas emotionally announces retirement after Dodgers get swept in NLCS

Los Angeles Dodgers World Series hero Miguel Rojas announced his retirement from baseball Thursday at age 37.

After the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Dodgers 6-4 to complete the sweep and advance to the World Series, an emotional Rojas said he was hanging up his spikes.

"No, I think this is it, guys," Rojas told reporters postgame.

"This is it as a player.

That was my last game played.

That was the last time that I put these cleats on and this uniform on as a player.

From now on, I'm going to start thinking about what's going to happen in my life as a baseball person." CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Rojas was responsible for one of the biggest swings in Dodgers history.

In the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, with the Dodgers trailing the Toronto Blue Jays by a run, Rojas hit a game-tying solo home run to send the game to extra innings.

The Dodgers went on to win the game and secure their second consecutive World Series title.

The two-time World Series champion may have retired from playing, but he plans to remain in baseball in a different role.

"I want to start my career on the other side of the of this business and I'm looking forward to do it here, with the Los Angeles Dodgers, as well.

It's really hard because I never wanted to make a big conference or anything like that but I just wanted to be clear with the guys and with everybody in this clubhouse that this was it.

I'm ready to move on and start the next chapter of my career," Rojas said.
