FILE - In this Aug. 7, 2008, file photo, Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker, left, watches a baseball game against the Houston Astros in the dugout with son Darren in Cincinnati. Darren Baker considers his father the perfect person to take over the Houston Astros, and the college second baseman insists that's from a baseball player perspective not just as a proud son. &quot;I think it's a perfect fit,&quot; Darren said. &quot;Who else to steer a ship or right a ship than my dad? I don't just say that because it's my dad, I genuinely believe it. Too much integrity, he's the greatest man I've ever met, on and off the field. I think it's a match made in heaven, I think it's fate. Seeing him in an Astros jersey, it's going to be a crazy experience.&quot; (AP Photo/Al Behrman, File)

FILE - In this April 3, 2018, file photo, former manager Dusty Baker shows off the lining of his sport coat before the start of an opening day baseball game between the San Francisco Giants and the Seattle Mariners in San Francisco. Baker lost his job with Washington after last season, when he guided the Nationals to a second straight NL East title. It has been a blessing of sorts. Baker never forgets to remind himself of his good fortune, even during the down times in his big league baseball career spanning a half-century. Sure, he still wants to manage and go out on his own terms when the time comes. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File)
