  • The deal follows the Dodgers' 2024 World Series victory, their second championship under Roberts' leadership in five seasons.
  • Roberts has led the Dodgers to eight division titles, four National League pennants, and a .627 career winning percentage, the highest in MLB history for managers with at least 1,000 games.
