Dodgers give manager Dave Roberts 3-year extension
manager Dave Roberts, who was entering the final year of his contract, agreed to an extension on Friday, the team announced.
In that span, the Dodgers have won five National League West titles, three NL pennants and the 2020 World Series. Part of the reason for the delay in the announcement of Roberts' extension was because after the 99-day Major League Baseball lockout ended, the Dodgers were negotiating with free agent"We didn't start talking about this until right before the lockout,'' Roberts said."I think we just kind of had little kind of, we're going to try to figure something out and then after the lockout, and then we kind of got, I don't want to say sidetracked.
"I did think about it at times. And I say that, not because I didn't appreciate the job. I just felt that, at times, for me to do right by the Dodgers and the players, they have to have all of me. And in a world where there's so much gray, I asked the players to be either in or out."
