On That’s Amaury’s podcast Dusty Baker takes the new position with the Washington Nationals as their new manager. Nats Bryce Harper calls Jonathan Paplebon to smooth things over from September dugout strangling that took place when the two started arguing during a rough patch in the Nats season.

The LA Dodgers fans are still having a hard time finding their local nine on Time/Warner cable and the Dodgers want to find some way to improve their product.

Speaking of the Dodgers ex-Dodger manager Don Mattingly now the new skipper at the Miami Marlins will take the reigns and he comes from a large market team. He was successful with the Dodgers taking them to the playoffs three years in a row the only manager to take the Dodgers to the playoffs three years in a row.
