Dodgers slugger Max Muncy takes nothing for granted, even with lucrative contract

PHOENIX —

The three-year, $26-million contract Max Muncy signed with the Dodgers in February changed the slugger’s tax bracket, but little else.

“I don’t live an extravagant lifestyle,” the 29-year-old infielder said. “I have a nice car, but I didn’t go out and buy a Ferrari or anything like that. The only thing it does is guarantee my family to be set up for the future.”

Muncy has established a firm foothold in the big leagues with two prolific offensive seasons but still acts and sounds like a guy battling for a roster spot.
