The article discusses the snub of Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts for the 2024 NL Manager of the Year award, which went to Brewers manager Pat Murphy. Despite leading a team plagued by injuries and achieving a .667 winning percentage, Roberts finished seventh in the voting, highlighting a disconnect in recognizing managerial achievements. Roberts remarked on the oversight during an interview, emphasizing that managing is a collaborative effort, and while he values individual awards, he believes the award should reflect organizational success.

I do think that it was the best job of managing I did - and you've known me for a long time and it's not about the individual awards... I guess it's part of the blessing and a curse when you put this Dodgers uniform on.
Not to mention, Roberts is the winningest manager in the majors with a .667 clip. There is quite literally no better skipper in the big leagues.
Though Murphy's accomplishments in Milwaukee should not be overlooked, Roberts dealt with a slew of injuries throughout the 2024 campaign and still managed to deploy all the right pieces during the regular season and the Dodgers' World Series run.
