Dave Roberts wants to manage the Americans at the Olympics

Right now, when we think of the Olympics, we think of the Winter Games, which are set to begin in the next few days. And we wonder whether the hockey arena will be functional or not…

But we must keep in mind that in two years, for the 2028 Summer Olympics, the competition will be back on North American soil. It will take place in Los Angeles.

There is a good chance that MLB players will participate in the event. Several players have come forward to say that they want the opportunity to represent their country.

And now Dave Roberts has done the same: he wants to manage the Americans at the Olympics.

In an interview with the brand new California Post, the Dodgers manager said he definitely wants the job. If anyone knows how to manage a bunch of stars in L.A. on the biggest stage, it's him, honestly.

Would Americans turn to someone who also played at UCLA and for the Dodgers before managing in Major League Baseball? One would think he would be a candidate.

In fact, not considering him would be a mistake.

Remember that during the World Baseball Classic, it's Mark DeRosa, who is not a baseball manager, who manages the Americans. But at the Games, it would probably be different since there would be a break in the season.

Managers can't leave their practice camps in March during the Classic, which makes sense. That's why DeRosa is there for the Americans.

To be continued in due course, then.
