  "account": "Miguel Rojas, the Los Angeles Dodgers infielder, expressed his emotions during Sunday's win against the Giants, indicating it might be his final regular season game. The 13-year MLB veteran, who is likely to retire at the end of 2026, said, \"Really emotional, to be honest with you guys\" while acknowledging this could be his last game. Rojas, who never takes his MLB experience for granted, emphasized the significance of his four-year tenure in the uniform. He vowed to retire on his own terms, a dream he had always harbored. Rojas' decision to retire was not an easy one; he had second thoughts about it a few times throughout the season. However, his primary concern is being present for his family, especially his son, Aaron. Rojas' son often asks if he has watched his father play, to which Rojas assures him he does, but his focus now is on being there for his son. Rojas is set to transition into a player development role with the Dodgers after his retirement. Manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in Rojas' ability to manage in MLB, praising his performance in critical moments. The Dodgers, led by Rojas, are aiming for a historic three-peat, focusing on the postseason following Sunday's victory.",
