The Los Angeles Dodgers have no plans to change their manager even though they fell short of their expectations in the past.
Dave Roberts is expected to return for the first year of the three-year contract extension he agreed to in March, according to Jack Harris of the LA Times.
One less thing to worry about is that the Dodgers are facing a number of decisions this off-season, so having some stability at manager is a must.
Turner has a club option on his contract, Bellinger has a club option on his contract, and other stars could hit the open market.
Even if the Dodgers lose in the playoffs, Roberts' tenure with the team is still considered a success.
He has a.500 record in seven seasons. The Dodgers won their first World Series title in 30 years under his direction.
Los Angeles has made the playoffs every year for the past five years, only to fall short of winning the trophy each time.

The fans will be disappointed after watching the team win a franchise-record 112 games and then lose in the first round of the playoffs to the Padres.
As Los Angeles looks to keep its position near the top of the baseball world, it's possible that that will lead to a new round of major free-agent signings. It will not affect the managerial position.
