The Dodgers announced the signing of manager Dave Roberts to a four-year extension that covers the 2026-29 seasons. The team did not confirm salary figures, but Roberts will reportedly be paid $32.4MM — an average annual value of $8.1MM. That surpasses the $8MM AAV on Craig Counsell’s five-year, $40MM deal with the Cubs.

Dave Roberts was already under contract for 2025, and his four-year extension with the Dodgers, formally announced on March 11, keeps the manager signed through 2029.
