Dusty Baker to The Rescue
The Houston Astros hired Dusty Baker to take over in the dugout just weeks after firing manager AJ Hinch in the aftermath of the team's sign stealing scandal. At 70 years old, Baker is the oldest manager in baseball, but with that comes a wealth of experience and stability the Astros desperately need. Baker is known as a players' manager and has a stellar reputation in the league. So how will he do as he inherits a team mired in controversy but also built to win the World Series? The Athletic's Brittany Ghiroli joins us to talk about Baker's hiring, his historic career as a player and manager, and why he's just what Houston needs.
