Reds general manager Walt Jocketty expects manager Dusty Baker to return to the team in 2013. Jocketty will meet with Baker and his coaching staff Friday and anticipates everyone coming back next year. Though the season certainly ended on a sour note by blowing the NLDS against the Giants, the Reds won 97 games during the regular season and have taken the NL Central two of the last three years. It's possible Baker's health issues might give the 63-year-old pause, but he's given no indication to this point that they would.
