On Monday, Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports reported that Reds manager Dusty Baker asked management about a contract extension. Rosenthal said “the team is not yet ready to decide upon his future.”

According to MLB.com on Wednesday morning, Baker responded to the article saying, “I haven’t talked to them. I don’t know where he (Rosenthal) heard that.”

Baker is in the final year of a three-year contract with Cincinnati.

“It’s going to come when it comes,” Baker said. “If it doesn’t come, what can you do? You still have to keep living, still keep doing your job.”
