Report: Dave Roberts to manage Dodgers

— -- The Los Angeles Dodgers have hired former player Dave Roberts to replace Don Mattingly as the team's manager, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times. 

Roberts, 43, played 10 years in the major leagues for the Cleveland Indians, Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres and  San Francisco Giants, stealing 243 bases during the regular season and playing in the postseason four times.

He was the Padres' bench coach the past two seasons and managed one game in 2015 -- a 9-1 loss -- on an interim basis after Bud Black was fired and before Pat Murphy could arrive from the minor leagues to take over for the rest of the season.

Roberts joined the Padres in 2011 as their first-base coach.

He interviewed for the Seattle Mariners' managerial opening earlier this fall before the job eventually went to Scott Servais.

Roberts, whose father is African-American and mother is Japanese, will be the first minority manager in franchise history.

He is reported to have beat out former player and current Dodgers director of player development Gabe Kapler for the managerial position.
