Dave Roberts and the Los Angeles Dodgers are close to finalizing a contract extension that could make him the highest-paid manager in MLB history based on average annual value. Discussions around a four-year deal worth approximately $40 million have taken place, aligning with the recent trend of high salaries for managers like Craig Counsell of the Cubs. With the Dodgers prioritizing player contracts earlier in the offseason, Roberts remains confident in reaching an agreement soon as the team prepares for their season opener in Japan.
"Obviously, I love being here. I haven't shied away from that. I'm confident it's going to get done. Right now, being here, I'm just really focused on these guys and pouring into them and just trying to get better and do something really special for this '25 club."
"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."
