The Los Angeles Dodgers announced the signing of manager Dave Roberts to a four-year contract extension that will keep him at the helm through the 2029 season.

Reaction to Dave Roberts signing a four-year, $32.4 million contract with the Dodgers, now earning the highest average annual salary of any manager in major league history.

That’s all even more true now that the Dodgers have all but captured the Japanese market, after signing Ohtani and righties Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki in the last two offseasons. The World Series had better TV ratings in Japan than in the U.S. Almost no one else in baseball can relate to the scrutiny Roberts faces.
