Reds talk with Dusty Baker?

The Reds may be getting close to naming a manager, sources with the team say. One candidate who has recently emerged is ESPN analyst Dusty Baker. Baker previously managed the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants. The Reds are known to have interviewed Baker. The team has spoken to at least one minority candidate, as is mandated by Major League Baseball. If hired, Baker would be the first African-American manager in Reds history. -- Cincinnati Enquirer

I'm not a big fan of Baker. They could probably do better but I guess they won't go for a guy like Girardi since they do have a good number of vets on the team.

They should just keep Pete Mackanin. It's not like Dusty Baker's much of an upgrade anyway.

Nope, Seattle kept Bill Bavasi as their skipper. So Dusty won't be heading there anytime soon.

Re: Reds talk with Dusty Baker?

I really hope they don't get Baker. I have heard rumors that if LaRussa leaves St. Louis that they will push for him. I would personally like them to keep Mackanin. He did a good job as the fill in. He turned their season around a little. They even had a winning record for a while after he took over. He deserves another chance.
