Dave Roberts (53), the head coach of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB), who was once ridiculed as a "Dolbutz," has renewed his contract with the highest treatment.
Foreign media such as MLB's official website MLB.com and The Athletic reported on the 11th (Korea time) that "Coach Roberts renewed his contract with the Dodgers for a total of $32.5 million (about 47.4 billion won) for four years."
This is slightly more than $8 million (KRW 11.672 billion) per year. In terms of annual average, it is ahead of Chicago Cubs coach Craig Counsell' contract size (a five-year total of $40 million) in November 2023.
Originally, Roberts' contract with the Dodgers lasted until the 2025 season. However, with the 2025 season around the corner, the Dodgers re-signed with Roberts, giving him more strength. With this result, Roberts will take the helm of the Dodgers through the 2029 season.
Roberts took the helm of the Dodgers ahead of the 2016 season. During the nine seasons through the 2024 season, he posted good results, 851 wins and 506 losses (62.7 percent win rate). This is the highest winning rate among managers who have played in more than 1,000 games in the Major League. The Dodgers led its team to the postseason for nine consecutive seasons. Among the nine seasons in which he led the team, he won the National League West title a whopping eight times. He also won the National League four times.
At one point, he was criticized for his weakness in short-term games. He was stigmatized as a "Dolbutz" by Korean MLB fans. However, Roberts elevated the Dodgers to the top of the World Series in the 2020 and 2024 seasons, recognizing his leadership. He rose to the top position with four wins and one loss against the New York Yankees last season. 온라인바카라
The Dodgers will now play the final exhibition game against the Cleveland Guardians on the upcoming 12th. The team will then begin its long journey through the Chicago Cubs and the MLB's opening Tokyo Series, which will be held in Japan on the 18th and 19th.
Meanwhile, Roberts said, "My father is African American and my mother is Japanese. He made his debut with the Cleveland Indians in 1999 and retired from the San Francisco Giants in 2008. He played in 832 games during 10 seasons in the big league, posting a batting average of 0.266, 721 hits, 23 homers, 213 RBIs and 437 runs. His main position was an outfielder. He played for the Dodgers for more than two seasons since 2002. Prior to his appointment as manager of the Dodgers, Roberts served as San Diego's first base coach, bench coach, and acting manager before taking the helm of the Dodgers.
