The Los Angeles Dodgers have made headlines recently with the announcement that Dave Roberts is now the highest-paid manager in MLB history, a move that has sparked a lot of discussion among fans and analysts alike. While Dodgers president Stan Kasten claims that making Roberts the highest-paid manager wasn’t a goal, it certainly raises some intriguing questions about the direction of the franchise and the expectations placed on Roberts moving forward.

What does this record-breaking contract say about the organization’s commitment to winning? Is it a sign that the Dodgers are all-in on a championship run, or does it put even more pressure on Roberts to deliver results? With a retooled roster and the weight of expectations, how do you think Roberts will navigate the challenges of the upcoming season?

Moreover, Roberts has already achieved significant success with four National League pennants and two World Series titles. But can he lead the Dodgers to another championship, especially with the looming question of Mookie Betts’ health and his potential participation in the Tokyo series?

Let’s not forget the bold predictions surrounding rookie Roki Sasaki. How do you see his impact on the team, and what are your expectations for his rookie season?

As we gear up for the 2025 season, what are your thoughts on the Dodgers' strategy? Are they setting themselves up for long-term success, or is this a risky gamble that could backfire? Share your insights, predictions, and any personal experiences you have with the Dodgers as we dive into this exciting chapter of their history!
