Dusty Baker, who wasn't involved in baseball last season for the first time since 1968, hopes to get another chance to manage soon.

Baker was dismissed as manager of the Cincinnati Reds following the 2013 season.

"No question, I'd like to have another chance to manage, because the only thing lacking in my career is [a World Series championship]," Baker said. "There are a lot of very good managers and football coaches who never won that big one, and it eats at you. That's why I'd love to come back, but you can't hire yourself. 

"Ideally, I'd love to land somewhere where people would listen to me and use the knowledge I've acquired over 47 years to help build a team. Somebody who wants an independent thinker. I know how to put together the necessary ingredients of a winning team. I've got a pretty good idea of what you need to win: balance-wise, speed, power and defense."
