Dodgers News: Dave Roberts Names Miguel Rojas & Kike Hernandez As Potential Future Managers
"The person or persons that have a good chance, I think Miggy Ro's got a very good chance. He certainly, like all people, has some growth to do on that side of things. To not always think like a player, because you've got to kind of flip it. I think he has the skillset and knowledge. I think Kiké has the knowledge and the skillset to be a manager as well."
"I think as he grows up more and matures, to be able to manage the media, you've got to have somewhat of a filter because your words are going to have more accountability when you're a manager and not a player. So if he can kind of wrap his head around that, I think he's got a good shot as well."
Miguel Rojas is a 12-year Major League veteran who re-signed with the Dodgers on a one-year, $5.5 million contract and will retire after the 2026 season. Kiké Hernández has spent parts of nine seasons with the Dodgers, remains a free agent, and is expected to re-sign. Both players built lengthy careers as versatile role players, gaining broad skillsets and game knowledge. Both have credible potential to transition into managerial roles but need to shift away from player-focused thinking and improve media management and public filtering. Both can develop those traits over time.
