The Los Angeles Dodgers and their longtime manager Dave Roberts have reached a contract extension that will keep him in Los Angeles through 2029, the team announced Tuesday night. Roberts is expected to earn slightly more than $8 million per year, or $32.4 million across four years .

Roberts expressed his excitement about the new contract and also the chance to get closure after his coaching seat was warm following two consecutive losses in the National League Division Series in 2022 and 2023.
