Dave Roberts Nearing Record-Setting Contract
Briefly

The Dodgers and manager Dave Roberts are nearing a contract extension ahead of their trip to Tokyo for an opening series against the Cubs. This new deal could set a record for average annual value, surpassing Craig Counsell’s $8M salary. Roberts, who has led the Dodgers since 2015, has ensured consistent playoff appearances, but has faced criticism over his postseason tactics. Despite this, the organization values his leadership and aims for continuity after recent successes, emphasizing the importance of Roberts' role in the future of the franchise.
Roberts has been at the helm in Los Angeles since November 2015. He's the National League's longest-tenured active manager, with playoffs in each of his nine seasons.
According to Sherman, Roberts is likely to establish a new record for average annual value, indicating he'll beat the $8MM salary received by Craig Counsell.
