Dave Roberts 'Excited' About Contract Extension With Dodgers
Briefly

Dave Roberts enters his 10th season as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025, with his current contract set to expire. The Dodgers aim to finalize an extension before their Tokyo trip on March 12, and both sides express optimism about a deal. Predicted to break records as the highest-paid manager, Roberts seeks fair value rather than just a pay increase. His previous deal was considerably less, and with his Hall of Fame resume, fair compensation is expected as negotiations progress.
Things are looking good," Roberts said. "I'm optimistic. This is where I want to be, so I'm excited that things are getting done.
Roberts could surpass Counsell in years, total value and average annual value with his next contract.
While it's unclear if Roberts will receive more years than Counsell, it will reportedly surpass the $8 million average annual value of his Cubs contract.
The Dodgers' manager is not focused on becoming the highest-paid manager, but he is looking for fair value.
