Dodgers Extend Dave Roberts' Contract with Record $32.4 Million Deal

The four-year extension cements Roberts as MLB's highest-paid manager, following his second World Series title in five seasons.

Overview

  • Dave Roberts has signed a four-year, $32.4 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers, making him the highest-paid manager in MLB history at $8.1 million annually.
  • 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.
  • Despite postseason success, the extension has sparked discussions about whether Roberts' regular-season dominance translates consistently into October results.
