"I hope he stays in the game in some capacity whether it be the front office side or the coaching side, because I know I talked to him in spring, and he was kicking that around. So the game needs guys like Jason."
"Those are things that as a manager, it's not always about performance on the field. I think for me, I get more joy out of seeing players mature and grow and have gratitude. And I think that Jason really understands who he is as a man and his place in this world."
Dave Roberts expressed admiration for Jason Heyward, who recently retired after a 16-year MLB career. Roberts emphasized Heyward's positive impact on players and his understanding of his role in the game. He hopes Heyward will continue in baseball, either in coaching or front office roles. Heyward played for several teams, including the Braves, Cardinals, Cubs, and Dodgers, and retired as a one-time All-Star and five-time Gold Glover, leaving a significant legacy in MLB.
