Since Dave Roberts was hired as Los Angeles Dodgers manager prior to the 2016 season, his staff has included bench coach Bob Geren, pitching coach Rick Honeycutt and first base coach George Lombard in each of the past four years.
The Dodgers have largely avoided turnover during Roberts’ tenure, though former third base coach Chris Woodward departed after the 2018 season to accept the managerial position with the Texas Rangers. He was then joined by Luis Ortiz, who elevated from a co-assistant hitting coach with the Dodgers to Rangers hitting coach.
With Roberts being a rookie manager at the time of hire, the Dodgers sought to pair him with a more experienced presence.
