SI.com: MLB, Cubs' Baker to learn fate Monday
ArmChairGM- Cubs Manager Dusty Baker

Cubs GM Jim Hendry has told the press that he will inform Dusty Baker on Monday of the teams intentions to either bring him back or fire him. Most everybody already assumes Baker will be let go and the soon to be fired (too) Joe Girardi will be signed ASAP.

Does anyone have any hope for Baker to be kept?

[Lefty Noob]

No, I doubt it. They really seem to want Girardi. Baker will fill another opening, though - maybe Washington?

[ThePundit]

It's official. Dusty's gone. Somebody is going to get themselves a good manager. With all of the Cubs injuries, Baker never had a chance.

[MJHMarc]

None of the managers recently on Chicago ever had a chance, except with Sammy Sosa around 2001.

[Lefty Noob]

Yep, Dusty's gone. Headed for the Nationals, or back to the Giants, you think?

[MJHMarc]

The Giants could use him.

The Nationals are pretty set under Robinson.

I was thinking last night when I saw that Alou was leaving the Giants that Baker could back. He had so much success there or with Robinson leaving the Nationals, that could be his next post.
