Dave Roberts wants to manage Team USA at 2028 Olympics

"He's done so three times as the manager of the Dodgers and has a great chance to do it a fourth time this upcoming 2026 season. On top of that, Roberts is familiar with the game's international setting. He represented the United States in the 1999 Pan American Games. In those games, Roberts and Team USA finished in second, which helped them qualify for the 2000 Olympics."

""I want to manage the Olympic team," Roberts said. "That's what I want to do. In L.A., I want to manage that team." The 53-year-old manager went on to list why he is qualified to manage the team. "I went to school here," the UCLA graduate said. "I manage the Dodgers. It's a no-brainer." Baseball will return to the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles for the first time since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics."
