The Los Angeles Dodgers and manager Dave Roberts are nearing a contract extension agreement, with Roberts expressing optimism about the deal. Speculation suggests that the contract could make him the highest-paid manager in MLB history. Since taking over, Roberts has led the Dodgers to numerous playoff appearances, division titles, and two World Series titles. He emphasizes that while compensation must reflect value, his commitment stems from a passion for baseball and the team, rather than solely financial gain. This extension is anticipated to conclude before the Dodgers' upcoming trip to Japan for a series.
We're at the one-yard line ... Things are looking good. I'm optimistic. This is where I want to be, so I'm excited that things are getting done.
I just think it all comes down to value. And I think whatever anyone does, they want their value. That's kind of where I'm at. I'm hopeful things get done.
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.
Roberts is the winningest manager in MLB, with a .627 clip. The Dodgers have made the playoffs every season since he became L.A.'s skipper.
