Los Angeles Dodgers veteran shortstop Miguel Rojas believes there is no one better to manage the team aside from Dave Roberts.

Roberts led the Dodgers on a historic run to the World Series in 2024. Despite many injuries, Roberts remained an optimistic figure in the Dodgers clubhouse.

Rojas said Roberts knows his players, which in turn, results in trusting their manager.

Roberts held an unprecedented team meeting in Atlanta after the news broke that ace Tyler Glasnow wouldn’t return in 2024. Several players, including Rojas, believe the meetings kept the Dodgers’ October hopes alive.

“It was significant because he knows the group,” Rojas told Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain. “He always said it, he said it from the bottom of his heart.

He said in Atlanta when he got that meeting with us that he trusts in this group, and he loved this group more than any group that he had. So I believe him, I trust him, and I feel like he was saying that the truth from the bottom is heart.”

Roberts has always taken the heat any time the Dodgers fail to meet expectations, but regardless of how far the Dodgers go in the postseason, the players remain loyal to him.

Rojas believes Roberts has cracked the code to being a successful manager in the majors and his winning percentage definitely proves that’s the case.

“That’s why I feel like he was the perfect guy for this group to have, because he knew the group,” Rojas said.

“He knows there’s gonna be a difference from like one player or one pitcher or whoever it is, or coaching staff, whatever. He got the whole thing figured out, because it’s him knowing the group and what everybody’s things are. The motivation for everybody was different, so he knew the group and he knew everybody.”
