"I would probably stick with AJ. But what Doc [Dave Roberts] did this postseason was super impressive. So I would give it a 1A and 1B, because everybody talks about the rosters that Doc has had, and yes, he has unbelievable talent. But what he did this postseason - and honestly the previous one, too, with how he navigated that Padres series - I give him a whole ton of respect."
"Dave never wavers. There's always a sense of urgency from those that are working for him. We all know what's at stake and did - I say we; I'm not there anymore. But I think Dave just has like a real steady hand and understands how to get through a season and then postseason, certainly, he's masterful with the bullpen moves."
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured consecutive World Series titles in 2025, their first back-to-back championships in 25 years. The roster featured numerous All-Stars and future Hall of Famers, while manager Dave Roberts provided consistent leadership and strategic postseason guidance.

Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker praised Roberts' postseason navigation and respect for his decisions despite talent-laden rosters. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough highlighted Roberts' ability to relate to diverse players, steady hand through the season, and mastery of bullpen moves.
