The Los Angeles Dodgers have reached a historic agreement with their manager, Dave Roberts, for a contract extension worth $8.1 million per season from 2026 to 2029, surpassing the previous record set by Cubs manager Craig Counsell. Despite this significant financial achievement, Roberts emphasized his commitment to baseball and the Dodgers over purely financial motivations. He expressed excitement about the extension, highlighting his strong connection to the team and players, indicating a shared resolve for success moving forward in his role.
I'm excited. This is where I always wanted to be.
I just think it all comes down to value. And I think whatever anyone does, they want their value.
It's not (a goal) to be the highest-paid manager. If that's the fallout, fine. But that's not why I do my job.
I do my job because I love baseball, I love the Dodgers and I love the players.
