The Dodgers have exercised the 2019 option on manager Dave Roberts’ contract, officially bringing him back for next season. There is still optimism that a multi-year extension will happen soon, but for now the two sides have set those talks to the side.
President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman spoke to media at the GM Meetings in Carlsbad Wednesday and said there is optimism the deal that was rumored to happen, still gets done.
According to several reports, the new contract would be a four-year deal, keeping Roberts under contract through at least the 2022 season.
