Dusty Baker is done as manager of the Washington Nationals after two seasons, two NL East titles and zero playoff series victories. Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said he told Baker the news via telephone Friday morning. Here’s the #Nationals’ statement on Dusty Baker. With Rizzo as GM, the Nationals have won four division titles since 2012 but have yet to win a playoff series. On Friday, hours after telling him he no longer was wanted in Washington, Rizzo referred to Baker as "a Hall of Fame-type of manager."
