LOVERRO: Nats ownership doesn’t see extending Baker as a priority
ANALYSIS/OPINION
When the Washington Nationals hired Dusty Baker in November 2015, owner Mark Lerner sat down for an interview with MASN and spoke very highly of their new manager.
“He has had decades of success as a player, as a coach, as a manager,” Lerner said. “We also got some really high recommendations from respected people in the baseball community that went a long way with us. He will help us compete and bring a better level of on-field performance and hopefully that will transform itself into reaching our goals.
“He’s quite a guy and we’re lucky to have him.”
