Our collective inner troll obligates us to print what the Los Angeles Dodgers' manager said about his team's chances for success in 2022.
Dave Roberts on Thursday guaranteed the Dodgers will win the World Series in 2022. The LA skipper issued his preseason proclamation on the "Dan Patrick Show."
"If we play a full season and there is a postseason, we are winning the World Series in 2022," Roberts said. " ... We're winning the World Series this year. Put it on record."
After winning 106 games in the regular season, the Dodgers fell to the Atlanta Braves in six games in the 2021 National League Championship Series. Instead of standing pat, the stacked Dodgers bolstered their squad by signing All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman, among other roster moves.
The Dodgers juggernaut always was going to have a target on its back heading into the 2022 campaign. Nevertheless, Roberts tattooed it there for the next seven months with his guarantee.
