The Dodgers will announce Dave Roberts as their new manager at an 11 a.m. press conference. Follow along for updates from the press conference.
Right-hander Joe Wieland has re-signed with the Dodgers, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke under the condition of anonymity because the agreement has not been announced.
The Dodgers had just come off another postseason appearance. The management and the manager could not agree on a contract, so the manager left.
The Dodgers had World Series aspirations and a roster packed with star power. The management handed all those egos and all those expectations to a fortysomething manager, one who never had managed a game in the major leagues.
