Dusty Baker has agreed to a three-year deal to manage the Cincinnati Reds, beginning with the upcoming season, ESPN has learned.

If you have Homer Bailey in a keeper league, you might as well trade him now.

Condolences.

I'm going to look at this from the flip side and say that now losing to the Reds the majority of the time will blow that much more.

Dusty becomes the first former Cubs manager to get another head job in goodness knows how long.

Does that equate to the Cubs becoming a better team over the last 5 years? :)

God help you indeed.

I'm looking forward to his first appear. at Wrigley. I doubt it will be as cordial as old Pac Bell was.

Our thoughts and prayer go out to you on this day of mourning.

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

Wow, what a suprise but I thought that (maybe with the exception of the John Scherholz announcement) MLB/Selig wasn't allowing any team announcements until after the WS?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I don't think Dusty will appreciate the skillset of Adam Dunn. Trade, plz.

I was starting to worry that Cincinnati might be a NL Central contender in a few years with their young talent. Good for the Cubs to see they're still committed to stupid baseball decisions. Sorry Reds fans.

Dusty Baker is taking a three-year deal to manage the Reds, ESPN.com is reporting.

 

The Reds got the big name they wanted. That’s about the only nice thing we can say about this. The Reds may be more likely to dump Adam Dunn now, as he does nothing more than clog up the bases with his walks.

[Wilson A2000]

Good news is that Dusty is in our division now! Cincy won't ever test their young talent to see if they are good. Man do I feel sorry for the Reds. It was such a joy to know that the Cubs had a competent manager this season. It really does make a difference.

Pffft. Hahahahaha.

The phones of the agents of Neifi Perez and Jose Macias must be ringing off the hook.

[erik316wttn]

Well, the Reds just got easier to beat.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So I guess we can look at them to replace Norris Hopper and Jeff Keppinger with Rondell White and Cliff Floyd.

Pitchers are going to have to spend more time practicing fielding bunts before games.

Isn't Alou a FA too?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Rumor has it that when he found out that Jeff Conine was traded, he said he wouldnt sign on unless Mike Stanton, David Weathers, and Scott Hatteberg were all given 5 year extensions with complete no trade clauses.

 

Also, Aaron Harang has bee designated for assignemnmet to make room for Mike Remlinger on the roster.
