Dodgers Have Not Had Extension Talks With Dave Roberts
Dave Roberts’ contract will expire at the end of the 2025 season. Initially, the Dodgers said they would discuss another contract extension for Roberts after the World Series. However, the Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes told reporters that the conversation has not happened yet.
Instead, the franchise is focused on navigating the free agent market and trading pool for new players.
“We’ve talked to him like, ‘Hey, let’s get our team in a good place and then we’re going to sit down and talk,’” Gomes said. “So the expectation is, let’s get through all of this player stuff and then we can have conversations.”

So far, the Dodgers have signed four free agents in outfielder Michael Conforto and pitchers Blake Snell, Blake Treinen, and Sam Carlson. Los Angeles has yet to make any trades this offseason.
Roberts took over as the Dodgers’ 32nd manager in 2016. He signed a three-year contract extension in March 2022, which will last through next season. Since taking the reins of the Dodgers coaching staff, Roberts has established himself as one of the best managers in MLB history.
After winning the eighth World Series title in franchise history, Baseball America named Roberts the 2024 Major League Baseball Manager of the Year. Now, Roberts has won two World Series titles and four National League pennants as the Dodgers’ manager. He also holds the highest career-winning percentage (.627) among all active MLB managers.
Although the Dodgers have not offered Roberts a contract extension yet, it is undoubtedly looming in the future. For now, Los Angeles is determined to build a dynasty.
