A pandemic is no time for a rivalry, and Dodgers’ manager is proving that with Rockies’ manager Bud Black. The two have been friends for a long time, and Roberts was brought on as the Padres’ first-base coach back in 2010 when Black was the manager. Now they are teaming up again, this time to help San Diego to get through the COVID-19 virus.
The Rockies’ Black and the Dodgers’ Roberts both live in San Diego, despite the two managing teams in different cities and in a different state. The goal for the managers is to team up and help feed healthcare workers while at the same time supporting struggling small businesses.
