The Dodgers are expected to discu s a contract extension with longtime manager this offseason, per a report from . Roberts current contract is slated to expire following the 2025 season. Its hardly a surprise that the Dodgers would look to lock up their skipper before Spring Training begins. Club bra s acknowledged last month (as noted by at the time) that the sides had not yet discu sed an extension in the aftermath of the clubs World Series championship but was quick to add that he hopes to keep Roberts in the dugout long-term. Even aside from those comments, teams often prefer to avoid having managers play out the final year of their contract without an extension in hand in hopes of avoid a lame duck situation, and its difficult to argue that Robertss performance hasnt merited an extension. Since joining the Dodgers as manager back in 2016, Roberts has led the club to nine consecutive postseason appearances, eight division titles, four NL Pennants, and two World Series championships. Ignoring the 60-game 2020 campaign where the Dodgers went 43-17, the club has never won le s than 91 games in a season under Robertss guidance, and after winning the NL Manager of the Year award in 2016 hes subsequently been a finalist for the award two more times and received votes in every season of his time at the helm in Los Angeles. Overall, Roberts has a lifetime 851-507 as a manager, giving him a .627 winning percentage. Thats the highest winning percentage of any manager in MLB Hansel Robles Jersey history with at least 1000 games managed in his career and translates to approximately 102 wins in a 162-game season. Given the Dodgers desire to keep Roberts in the fold long-term and his phenomenal work during his tenure as L.A.s skipper, Harris goes on to suggest that a record-shattering extension could be on the table for the longtime skipper. Last offseason, signed a record-breaking extension with the Cubs that guaranteed him $40MM over five years. Counsell is widely considered to be among the best managers in the game at the moment, but hes never led a team to the World Series or won a Manager of the Year award. In other words, Robertss resume is much more robust than Counsells was last winter, and its not hard to imagine a high-spending club like the Dodgers rewarding their skipper with a record-breaking deal. Of course, thats by no means guaranteed to occur. Counsell signed his $40MM deal with Chicago on the open market after playing out the final season of his deal with Milwaukee and had a number of teams vying for his services as the Guardians, Astros, and Mets joined the incumbent Brewers in vying for his services before he ultimately landed on the north side. That stands in contrast to Red Sox skipper , who appeared poised to follow in Counsells footsteps and test the open market before ultimately opting to sign a three-year extension in Boston that guaranteed him around $21.75MM total. Cora doesnt quite compare to Roberts in terms of resume, with just one World Series championship and a .536 winning percentage under his belt in six seasons as manager in Boston. Even so, the extension between the Red Sox and their well-regarded skipper came in at just over half the total guarantee the Cubs offered Counsell and with a lower yearly salary. That outcome at least left the door open to the po sibility that Counsells record-setting deal with Chicago was more of an outlier caused by multiple aggre sive suitors rather than a new norm for manager salaries in the league.
