The Los Angeles Dodgers and Dave Roberts have agreed to a new contract that will make him the highest-paid manager in Major League Baseball, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. The contract keeps Roberts around for four years as he leads a stacked group of superstars in a championship-or-bust window.
Roberts will be paid $32.4 million through 2028 for an annual value of $8.1 million. This breaks the previous high-water mark set by Craig Counsell who inked a five-year, $40 agreement with the Chicago Cubs last offseason.
