LOVERRO: Extending Baker should be simple — but this is the Nationals

ANALYSIS/OPINION

On Sunday, Dusty Baker could have conceivably managed his last regular season Washington Nationals game.

The two-year contract he signed when he was hired in November 2015 expires at the end of this season — now extended into the postseason with the upcoming National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs.

Is there any scenario in which Dusty Baker is in his final days as the Nationals manager?

Of course there is — if you consider the track record of the Nationals owners when it comes to how much they value their managers.
