Quick Summary

Miguel Rojas, a recently retired infielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, spoke on MLB Network about his close friendship with four teammates: Kiké Hernández, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and Max Muncy. The group was nicknamed "viejitos" by younger players due to their age but proved their worth in the 2025 World Series when Rojas hit a game-tying home run in Game 7. Although the Dodgers did not win the championship again after that season, they still had an impressive regular season record of 100 wins before being eliminated in the NLCS. Rojas will play for the Tiburones de La Guaira in Venezuela but won't return to the Dodgers in 2027; however, Hernández and his "viejitos" friends Freeman, Betts, and Muncy remain with the team.
