Dave Roberts Nears Historic Contract Extension With Dodgers

The two-time World Series-winning manager is expected to finalize a record-breaking deal ahead of the team's season opener in Tokyo.

Dave Roberts and the Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly in the final stages of negotiating a new contract, with an announcement anticipated before the team departs for Japan next week.
The extension is expected to make Roberts the highest-paid manager in MLB history, surpassing Craig Counsell's $8 million annual salary with the Chicago Cubs.
Roberts has led the Dodgers to two World Series championships, four National League pennants, and nine consecutive playoff appearances during his tenure.
With a career winning percentage of .627, Roberts holds the highest managerial winning percentage in MLB history among non-Negro Leagues managers.
The deal follows a 2024 season in which Roberts guided the Dodgers to a championship despite significant injuries, earning praise for his leadership and strategic decision-making.
