The Los Angeles Dodgers announced that they have signed Dave Roberts to a four-year contract extension to keep him as their manager long-term.
Roberts took over the job before the 2016 season and has had a tremendous amount of success in his three-year tenure. The Dodgers have won the National League West in all three seasons and have advanced to the World Series in each of the last two, although winning it all has been the one goal that has alluded him. He also was named the NL Manager of the Year in his first season.
The organization making a long-term commitment shows the trust that they have in him to bring the first World Series Championship to the city of Los Angeles since 1988 though.
