The Dodgers formally introduced their new manager on Tuesday, with Roberts, Andrew Friedman and Farhan Zaidi fielding questions from various reporters.
Magic Johnson presented Roberts with his Dodger jersey, complete with the number 30 that he wore in his two and a half years as a Dodger outfielder from 2002-2004. Scott Schebler will need a new jersey number, as he wore 30 when he was on the Dodgers last year.
During the conference, Roberts had a lot of answers you would expect to hear from a coach. He said the goal is to win a championship and that he’s a fan of grit, presumably because playing a hard-nosed style of baseball is what gave Roberts a 10-year MLB career.
