Wire Taps: Dusty Baker is the Nationals' new manager; Nats called arrogant again

Nothing comes easy for the Washington Nationals these days and the baseball world wasn't kind to the Nats after a few days of drama about the hiring of the Nats' new skipper. First it was Bud Black, then all-of-a-sudden it was Dusty Baker. Link time...

Well we're back to the Washington Nationals being called arrogant again.... yep. Apparently most people liked the fact that Dusty Baker got the gig on the bench in the nation's capital, but not many liked the way things went down.

The job was supposed to be Bud Black's, but the two sides couldn't agree on a deal, so this weekend-ish, the Nats turned back to Baker, the 66-year-old, 20-year veteran, and signed him to what is reportedly a two-year deal on Tuesday that brings him back to the majors for the first time since 2013.
