Dusty Baker will not return as manager of the Washington Nationals in 2018, the team announced on Friday. Baker led the Nats to first-place finishes in the National League East in both of his seasons at the helm in Washington, but saw his team eliminated in the Division Series each year. Baker went 192-132 at the helm in Washington, continuing a winning track record he had established in previous stints leading the San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds to the playoffs.
