CINCINNATI (AP) -- Dusty Baker has interviewed with the Cincinnati Reds for their vacant managing job, according to a person within the organization familiar with the search.
Baker was out of baseball last season, but is eager to get back into managing. In an interview with The Associated Press this summer, he said he would wait for "the right spot" in picking his next job.
The Reds are coming off their seventh straight losing season, their longest such slump in a half-century, and are looking to develop stability in an organization that has had two owners, three general managers and four managers since 2003.
Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky has declined to discuss candidates under consideration. Baker was interviewed recently, according to the person within the organization, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ballclub's policy of not confirming candidates.
"I can't tell you anything because there's not anything to say right now," Baker told the AP by telephone Friday, declining further comment.
