In a world where loyalty is fleeting and contracts are mere stepping stones, Dave Roberts has just rewritten the rules of the game. The numbers are staggering, and the implications are even bigger. The Dodgers, never ones to play it safe, have unleashed a move that will leave rivals scrambling. Buckle up—this one’s going to ruffle some feathers.
The news all the Dodgers fans have been waiting for is here, well almost. It is reported that Dave Roberts has signed an extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers and is set to stay here for a long time.
As reported by Jon Heyman, Dave Roberts has signed a massive 4-year, $32.5 million deal with the Dodgers and it is already making headlines. If this deal is reported to be true, Dave Roberts will become the highest-paid manager in MLB and will break the record set by Craig Counsel and the Cubs with their 5-year, $40 million pact. But does Roberts deserve this big a contract?

The answer without a doubt is yes. Nobody deserves this contract more than him. He has been able to achieve something that not many managers have achieved in this new era of baseball. He has won the Dodgers two World Series titles in the past six years. With the team they have, they might be on track for back-to-back championship celebrations.

And even when the Dodgers didn’t make it to the World Series, they were sure to make it to the postseason. Since Dave Roberts took over as the Dodgers’ manager in 2016, they have consistently made the postseason. During his tenure, the team has also won multiple division championships. This is not something every manager can do.
What every other also can’t do is handle a room full of superstars. Dave Roberts has made handling future MVPs and Hall of Famers look like a walk in the park. Many analysts and insiders still think that Dave Roberts still has to do a lot to prove himself but the fans will beg to differ.
What’s your perspective on:
Is Dave Roberts worth the highest manager salary, or are the Dodgers taking a risky gamble?
Have an interesting take?
Love him or doubt him, Dave Roberts is now the gold standard for MLB managers—at least in the bank account. The Dodgers have placed their bet on continuity, but in a league where October defines legacies, one question remains: will Roberts’ next four years be worth every penny, or will the critics have the last laugh?
