Dodgers might make some changes, but Dave Roberts is staying

Dodgers lost to San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series. They won 111 games this season. Dave Roberts is expected to return as manager in 2023. He signed a three-year contract extension before this year. The team's future is uncertain. They were the heavy betting favorites to win their seventh World Series title in Los Angeles. Their offense and pitching staff faltered in this series. Clayton Kershaw and Justin Turner want to play for the team in a championship.   They were leading the majors in runs scored and fewest runs given up.

The Dodgers lost the World Series to the Padres. Manager Dave Roberts is safe despite his team's poor performance. The team won the 2020 World Championship. The front-office decision-makers will consider how to fix the team in the coming days. They have been eliminated early in last two postseasons. Their last defeat came after a communication error in Saturday's seventh-inning debacle. Dodgers have a good regular-season record but have problems in October. This year's team lacks the confidence and swagger of other title contenders. Padres adopted the goose that landed in Dodger Stadium as their mascot.
