Roberts originally signed a three-year contract with a fourth-year team option ahead of the 2016 season. The team has won the NL West in all three of his seasons and reached consecutive World Series, though they lost in both years.
There have been questions about Roberts’ job status after he received criticism for many of his playoff moves. Despite that, the Dodgers have expressed interest in extending his contract.
