They began the season with a new manager in Dave Roberts. The Dodgers in 2016 set a new Major League record for the most players placed on the disabled list in one season. On September 25, they clinched their fourth consecutive National League West championship, the first team in the division ever to do so and defeated the Washington Nationals in five games in the NLDS. They were defeated by the Chicago Cubs; the eventual World Series champion, in six games in the NLCS. This was the 67th and final season for Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully. Offseason Managerial change The Dodgers announced on October 22, 2015, that manager Don Mattingly would not be returning to the team for the 2016 season. In five seasons as manager, Mattingly had a record of 446–363, a .551 winning percentage (2nd best in Los Angeles Dodgers history) and guided the team to three straight National League West titles for the first time in franchise history.http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-dn-dodgers-don-mattingly-20151022-story.html Don Mattingly out as Dodgers manager Los Angeles Times Dylan and Bill Shaikin Hernandez October 22, 2015 October 22, 2015 On November 23, the team announced that former Dodger player Dave Roberts would become the new manager.http://m.dodgers.mlb.com/news/article/157933286/dave-roberts-named-dodgers-manager Roberts is Dodgers' pick to be manager mlb.com November 23, 2015 November 23, 2015 Ken Gurnick November 24, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20151124092859/http://m.dodgers.mlb.com/news/article/157933286/dave-roberts-named-dodgers-manager dead The Dodgers also announced a new coaching staff, with pitching coach Rick Honeycutt and catching instructor Steve Yeager as the only holdovers from Mattingly's staff.
