HBT: Baker gets extension despite NLDS collapse

Dusty Baker and the Reds have agreed to a two-year contract, the team announced this afternoon.

Baker?s deal expired once the Reds were knocked out of the playoffs by the Giants last week. He?s been Cincinnati?s manager since 2008, during which time the Reds are 419-391 (.517) and have made the playoff twice, losing in the NLDS both times.

This season Baker led the Reds to a 97-65 record that was second-best in the NL behind the Nationals and the best in team history since the back-to-back World Series winners in 1975 and 1976 won 108 and 102 games.

Baker missed some time down the stretch after suffering a mini-stroke, but the 63-year-old made it clear that he planned to continue managing.
