The Dodgers are negotiating a long-term contract extension with General Manager Ned Colletti, a high-ranking club official said.
The Dodgers have reached the postseason three times in four years under Colletti, whose current deal includes a mutual option for 2010.
Colletti, who said earlier this month he would "love" to return to the Dodgers next season, declined to comment on the negotiations.
"He's obviously done a very good job," Frank McCourt said. "The team has the best record in the National League. We're on the verge of clinching the division back-to-back [for the first time] in 31 years. I think that speaks for itself."

Manny Ramirez wasn't in the lineup for the Dodgers on Monday afternoon.
Pittsburgh defeated Los Angeles, again preventing them from clinching the National League West title.
"Manny felt something the other day similar to where Casey [Blake] has a little bit of a hammy. It happened Saturday but it doesn't seem too serious," manager Joe Torre said. "I had planned to give him a day and [play him Monday] ... he came in today still a little sore."

The Dodgers clinched a playoff berth on Saturday with an 8-4 victory over the Pirates.
It will be their fourth appearance in six years and their second consecutive under manager Joe Torre, who now has 15 postseason appearances under his belt.
Los Angeles leads the NL West, but are assured of at least the NL Wild Card.
"It's going to be a lot more if we can clinch this division and secure home-field advantage," Andre Ethier said.
The Dodgers lead the Rockies by six games in the division with just seven games to play.
