“Went Through a Lot of Things”: Dodgers Manager Opens Up as He Joins Legends in Rare MLB History
Andy Pages hit a three-run home run to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers to their 100th win of the 2026 season at Oracle Park against the San Francisco Giants. Dave Roberts’ résumé as the Dodgers manager was already impressive, with three World Series titles, but his team’s latest 5-1 victory over the Giants put him in elite company.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts discussed the team's remarkable 100-win season during an appearance at DodgerFest on January 31, 2026. The achievement, which puts Roberts alongside baseball legends Joe McCarthy and Bobby Cox, was attributed to the collective effort and resilience of the entire team. Despite facing challenges including the health issues of their star player Shohei Ohtani and the underwhelming performance of high-profile signings Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz, the Dodgers persevered and secured their postseason berth.
The Dodgers will enter the NLDS as favorites, having shut down Ohtani due to left knee inflammation and dealing with a series of injuries that tested their depth. Roberts emphasized that while the milestone is significant, the team's focus is on consistent performance throughout the postseason, acknowledging that anything can happen against any opponent.
