It’s difficult to remember a season when Dave Roberts wasn’t overseeing the Los Angeles Dodgers dynasty at the field level.

Roberts and the Dodgers started the 2026 campaign with a big target on their organizational back. Having won two consecutive World Series championships, they have been built by Andrew Friedman, the club’s president of baseball operations, to challenge for a third title in as many seasons.
