Fifty-five players, 28 placed on the DL – and 91 wins?
The numbers don’t seem to add up. But Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made the math work well enough in his first season to earn the National League’s Manager of the Year award for 2016. Roberts received 16 of the 30 first-place votes. Cubs manager Joe Maddon finished second with eight first-place votes. Nationals manager Dusty Baker received four first-place votes and Mets manager Terry Collins two.
"I'm completely humbled. I really am," Roberts said upon receiving the news Tuesday.
Roberts is the sixth first-year manager to win the award.
