Yankee management and owners obviously have been hanging around with the New York Giants owners and management.

Baker got the Nats to the postseason yes. But as an in-game manager he is not in the elite. And with the talent on that team.... Was he better than Matt Williams? Oh yeah. But he's never won a championship, and has been to the WS only once (2002 with the Giants) in all his years of managing.

That being said, the Nats just seem to be snake-bit in the post season. They got two great games out of Strasburg against the Cubs, but only managed to win one of those games. Scherzer was just tired I think. We'll see what happens next season...
