It has been just over 24 hours since Dusty Baker was introduced as the Nationals’ new manager and three-and-a-half months remain until pitchers and catchers report for 2016 spring training. That is a long, long time for Baker to get settled and start making plans for his first year on the job.
Given that timeframe, Baker could only share so many details about what he plans to change about the Nats moving forward. For now, he hopes to contact his players, coaches and front office colleagues and get started on his first objective: simply listen to what they have to say.
