Padres not interested in Dusty Baker for manager

I learned two things from Fox Sports San Diego contributor Scott Miller today. First, Dusty Baker is thirsty. And second, A.J. Preller is not into that.

Dusty Baker says he contacted the #Padres about their open managerial job and was told thanks for your interest. But, no thanks.

Harsh. But that's the only sane response when Dusty Baker calls you looking to coach your team. While he's had a fair amount of success across 20 seasons with the Giants, Cubs, and Reds, it came with a cost.
