The Los Angeles Dodgers and manager Dave Roberts have agreed to a record-breaking contract extension that will make him the highest-paid manager in Major League Baseball history in terms of average annual value and keep him in L.A. for the foreseeable future.
Roberts and the Dodgers have agreed to a four-year deal worth a little over $8 million per year, surpassing Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell, who became the highest-paid manager in MLB history last offseason after signing a five-year, $40 million deal.
Roberts was expected to reset the market following an incredible 2024 season that ended in a World Series victory — his second in five years — and that’s exactly what he did.
