Washington's Nationals hired 66-year-old skipper Dusty Baker after an exhaustive search for Matt Williams' replacement on the bench in the nation's capital. Mike Rizzo said Thursday that he trusts that they got the right man for the job.
Back when the Washington Nationals were searching for Davey Johnson's replacement on the bench in the nation's capital in 2013, Dusty Baker reached out to GM Mike Rizzo through his agent to let the Nationals know that he was interested in the job.
Baker, then 64 and only a week removed from his role as the Cincinnati Reds' skipper, told the Washington Post's Adam Kilgore he wanted to let people know he wasn't done.
