The left-handed hitting infielder has a team option for next year, with some suggesting that the Dodgers could go that route because of Muncy\u2019s injuries.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that when Muncy has been healthy throughout the campaign, despite playing only 90 games, he has struggled those times. As a whole, however, he\u2019s been more than fine, considering he\u2019s really swung the bat at a high level after a very slow start.<\/p>\n<p>But prior to his better showings before going down with another injury, which he returned from on Monday, Muncy wasn\u2019t worried about whether the Dodgers would move on from him or not. He noted that he\u2019s a veteran in this league and trusts himself to figure things out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. At this point in my career, no. If I was younger, it definitely would be in my head,\u201d Muncy said to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. \u201cAt this point, I\u2019ve accomplished a lot. I\u2019ve been able to do almost all of it in a Dodgers uniform and that\u2019s something that\u2019s very special to me. Obviously I\u2019ve made it very clear I want to retire as a Dodger. But that\u2019s not always in your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Does Dodgers 3B Max Muncy Have a Market?<\/h2>\n<p>If the Los Angeles Dodgers decide to move on for Muncy, there will be another team in Major League Baseball interested in acquiring him, and there\u2019s no question about that.<\/p>\n<p>All he\u2019s done for much of his career is swing the bat at a high level, and that can\u2019t go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>According to Spotrac , they have Muncy coming in at a two-year, $30.0 million deal if the Dodgers move on from him.<\/p>\n<p>If they part ways, Jim Bowden of The Athletic believes the Dodgers could replace him with a player like Alex Bregman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBregman, who is making $40 million this year and signed for two more years at that rate, will likely opt out of his contract and seek a longer-team deal. He missed time this season with a quad injury but has hit .299\/.379\/.542 in 327 plate appearances. It appears Boston would be his first choice in free agency, but he is an obvious fit with several other contending teams including the Phillies, Yankees, Tigers, Dodgers, Mariners and even the Mets,\u201d he wrote .<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Are Los Angeles Concerned Over Max Muncy\u2019s Injuries?<\/h2>\n<p>Regarding Muncy\u2019s injury, which is the most important aspect for the Los Angeles Dodgers now, everything looks good.<\/p>\n<p>He missed 23 games because of an oblique injury, but according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, he feels healthy and is expecting him to make a massive return for Los Angeles in its pursuit of another World Series title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a big boost,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been waiting for this one for a long time, not to add any pressure to Max.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe body feels in a good spot,\u201d he said before the game. \u201cThis is kind of one of those rare rehab assignments where you\u2019re not entirely worried about results. You\u2019re just more worried about how is your body coming out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
