Washington Nationals manager Davey Martinez had huge shoes to fill, replacing Dusty Baker before the 2018 season. So far, he’s been far from up to the task, but the team and its fans need to let the narrative around Baker go, immediately.
A recent interview that the 22-year managerial veteran had with The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal was published on Friday. In the interview, Baker talked about his time with the Nats, where he was largely critical of the front office and how they handled things.
Baker was incredibly successful in his time with the Nationals, going a combined 192-132 in two regular seasons.
