NASHVILLE — Dusty Baker wrapped up his Winter Meetings media session a short while ago, easily the most-attended session a Nationals manager has held over the last decade. (The man is quite popular and obviously is still of interest to those in the cities he previously managed and played.)
The 66-year-old skipper officially has been on the job one month, but he doesn’t consider himself anywhere close to up-to-speed on his entire roster or the organization as a whole. He has spoken to a handful of players so far but really wasn’t ready to go into any kind of specifics on things like lineup construction and the needs of individual players.
