The Dodgers and their manager Dave Roberts have reached a deal on a new four-year contract extension. This agreement sets a new MLB record for the highest average annual value, exceeding million per year, as confirmed by The Post’s Jon Heyman.

The agreement is expected to be announced within the next day or two and completes a busy offseason for the Dodgers that has included re-signing or extending a number of key players who helped them defeat the Yankees in the World Series in October. 

The Post’s Joel Sherman first reported that the two sides were moving toward an extension that would make Roberts the holder of the top annual value for a managerial contract.

The new deal is believed to be worth $32.4 million over the four years and runs through 2029. 

Roberts has led the Dodgers to World Series titles twice in the last five seasons.

Roberts’ time leading the Dodgers has included four National League pennants, and they’ve won the division eight times since he took the job on Nov. 23, 2015.

When asked by reporters on Monday about the new deal, Roberts said he couldn’t say much. 

“I can’t talk so much about it, but I do think that there’s finally some closure,” Roberts said after the Dodgers defeated the Diamondbacks in Cactus League play. “I’m excited. Obviously this is the place I want to be. I’m sure I’ll go into it more. Hopefully there’s an announcement coming soon; I’m waiting. But this is the place I’ve always wanted to be. I just love what we’re doing.”

The official announcement could come before the Dodgers leave for Japan, where they’ll begin their 2025 season with two games against the Cubs beginning on March 18. 

The 2025 campaign will be Roberts’ 10th managing the ballclub.
