The Los Angeles Times quoted sources saying that Dusty Baker wants to take over the Dodgers if Jim Tracy doesn't return in 2006. The Times quoted a source saying, "[Baker] would love the Dodgers to come calling and then hope the Cubs would let him go." Baker, 56, played for the Dodgers from 1976-82. He's in the third year of a four-year deal with the Cubs, and in 2003-04, led the team to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1971-72. The Cubs were 53-50 entering Sunday's game. "I don't know where these things come from," Baker said Sunday about the report. "I've got a year and some change on my contract [with the Cubs]. I've never not honored a contract in my entire life. I don't renegotiate contracts. I've never done that. Only one time have I ever signed before the end of the season, only one time. This is the first time since I was a player that I've had a contract over two years, and most of the times that was at my choice. "I didn't sign here for four years thinking about going somewhere else," Baker said. "I signed here for four years because I thought it might take that long, No. 1, and, No. 2, because I wanted to make sure we saw this thing through. LA, that's kind of out there. Sources, there's always a source saying something. It seems like I'm in more rumors than somebody in Hollywood."
