Dodgers' Max Muncy Gets Promising Update on Major League Baseball Future

A few months ago, many Los Angeles Dodgers fans wanted Max Muncy off the team. Muncy has truly turned things around in recent weeks to months, raising his batting average to .250 with an OPS+ above 130.

He's swung the bat at a high level throughout much of his career, evident by his 124 career OPS+. Muncy has 13 home runs on the year, including 55 RBIs and 10 doubles.

He's a staple in the Dodgers' lineup, and without him, it's tough to say that this team would’ve found the same type of success as it has over the past few years.

However, the left-handed hitting Texas native is set to hit the free agency market at the end of the season, and it's possible that Los Angeles could allow him to walk.

If that happens, Bob Nightengale of USA Today has reported that many teams will be interested, adding that Muncy will have a robust market if he becomes available.

"Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy, who’s eligible for free agency after the season, certainly is proving that he could be a hot commodity this winter with his power show the past month," Nightengale wrote.

Muncy will have to hope that he continues to swing the bat at the level he has, which should happen considering his performance throughout his career.

A multi-time World Series champion, two-time All-Star, and much more, Muncy deserves to hit the open market and get the money he’s good enough to earn.

There's a very good chance that might be with the Dodgers, but if not, he should find himself with another great team.
