The Los Angeles Dodgers and manager Dave Roberts agreed to a historic $32.4 million contract extension this week, making Roberts MLB's highest-paid manager at a salary of $8.1 million per year. Roberts was entering the final year of the three-year contract he signed with the Dodgers in 2022, and after winning his second World Series last season, it wasn't a surprise to see him receive a record extension.
On Monday, Roberts expressed his excitement about the new contract and also the chance to get closure after his coaching seat was warm following two consecutive losses in the National League Division Series in 2022 and 2023.
