After guiding the Los Angeles Dodgers to their second World Series title in five seasons last fall, Dave Roberts agreed to a four-year extension that will make him the game’s highest-paid manager, multiple media outlets reported on Monday.

Per the New York Post, Roberts’ new deal will pay him $32.4 million through 2028 and surpasses the average annual value of Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell’s five-year, $40 million contract.

Roberts, 52, is entering his 10th season at the helm of the Dodgers, who have won two World Series (2020, 2024), four National League pennants and eight division titles in nine consecutive playoff appearances under his leadership.

“We’re at the 1-yard line. … Things are looking good,” Roberts said on Friday about his extension, which the two sides have reportedly discussed since early February. “I’m optimistic. You guys all know, this is where I want to be. I’m excited that things are getting done.”

With an 851-507 record, Roberts has the highest winning percentage (.627) in major league history among those who have managed at least 1,000 games.

The Dodgers open the 2025 season in Tokyo with games against the Cubs on March 18 and 19.
