The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed yet. Roberts was entering the final year of his contract, but the new agreement will keep the 49-year-old in LA through the 2025 campaign.
Hired by the club in 2016, Roberts has enjoyed tremendous success in his six years at the helm. The former player-turned-manager has led the Dodgers to three World Series appearances, winning it all in the pandemic shortened 2020 season. Roberts has accumulated an outstanding 543-329 record and has never missed the postseason during his tenure. His .622 winning percentage is the highest of any manager since 1940.
Boasting a star-studded lineup that includes the newly signed Freddie Freeman, Roberts’s Dodgers are once again positioned as World Series contenders.
