""Yeah, I think it's our system, not my system. I can't say enough about [Roberts]. Just the consistency, the relentless optimism, his ability to put guys in great spots to succeed, and his ability to communicate around that," Friedman said of Roberts. "Because it's not always in ways that players want or believe is right. And his ability to lead our group has been exceptional over these 10 years.""
""He has been a significant part, obviously, of our success looking back. I feel very fortunate that he'll be a significant part of our success going forward. And just what he has meant to this group, and how he's helped lead through a lot of the ups and downs is no small part in why we're sitting here.""
""Roberts has been the Manager of the Year once (2016) and has been the manager of three World Series title teams. The odds are that number will increase considering the remaining years (four) left on his deal.""
""A true players manager, never will Roberts throw his players under the bus. He's always going to bat for them, and as Friedman eluded to, \"Doc\" operates with relentless positivity and optimism. His ability to mesh different egos and formulate a team rooted in togetherness and playing for one another is arguably the most underrated aspect of his tenure.""
