ATLANTA – Dave Roberts knows a thing or two about managing superstar MLB players.
Last October, Roberts guided the Dodgers to the World Series title for the second time in his managerial career.
He has also been tapped as the manager for Tuesday’s MLB All-Star game. Managing the National League All-Stars is something Roberts is familiar with. He’s done the job three times before — in 2018, 2019, and 2021.
Entering his fourth time as the manager at the Midsummer Classic, Roberts admitted he no longer views the responsibilities that come with the job as a “challenge.”
“Now that there’s no extra innings, there’s no challenge for me,” Roberts told Fox News Digital. “It’s easy, my coaches are managing the pitching … I’m enjoying the conversations … hanging out with the players, the coaches. It’s great because we’re hanging out with the game’s best, everyone’s kinda of having a good time. They’re not as edgy as they [would be] for a game that matters. So we can all put that aside, appreciate that we accomplished something to get here.”
Roberts has spent the past decade managing the Dodgers. L.A. entered the All-Star break in first place in the NL West division.
The 2025 All-Star Game begins at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
