The Los Angeles Dodgers and their longstanding manager Dave Roberts have come to terms on a contract extension that will keep him in Los Angeles through 2029, as announced by the team on Tuesday evening. Roberts is expected to receive a salary of slightly more than $8 million per year, totaling approximately $32.4 million over the four-year span.

At 52 years old, Roberts has completed nine seasons as manager, boasting an impressive record of 851-506. This success includes nine postseason appearances, eight division titles, five 100-win seasons, and four pennants, alongside two World Series championships, one in the 2020 season and another last year.

Roberts’s winning percentage stands at .627, the highest for managers with at least 1,000 games in MLB history, ranking him 12th all-time in most games above .500, along with six postseason wins, where he ranks sixth historically.

Heading into the 2025 MLB season, the Dodgers are on a quest to become the first team to win back-to-back titles since the New York Yankees in 1999-2000, and Roberts aims to become just the 11th manager to win at least three championships. The team recently signed Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, and Michael Conforto, while also retaining Blake Treinen, Clayton Kershaw, and Teoscar Hernández.

The Dodgers are set to commence the regular season next week against the Chicago Cubs in the Tokyo Series, marking the second consecutive year they have opened the season overseas.
