Nationals reportedly open to extending Dusty Baker beyond 2017...
With the Washington Nationals coming off a disappointing 2015 campaign, which saw them fail to make the postseason after winning the NL East in 2014, Dusty Baker, who signed a 2-year deal after Matt Williams was fired, was asked if he felt like he was in a must-win situation in the nation’s capital.
"I've been in a must-win situation all my life," Baker told reporters, after returning to the bench following two seasons out of the game.
"That's how I look at it. Other than one time out of twenty that I had more than a two-year contract, with San Francisco, the whole time I had two-year contracts. That's like I was at least in a must-win every other year. So it's like it's no big thing to me.
