That's why Baker is a finalist for the Baseball Writers' Association of America's National League Manager of the Year Award, which will be presented Tuesday night on MLB Network. Baker's competition is Cubs manager Joe Maddon and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Baker has won the award three times (1993, '97 and 2000), the second most behind Hall of Famers Bobby Cox and Tony La Russa, both of whom are four-time winners.
Esurance MLB Awards week concludes Friday on MLB Network and MLB.
