Baker wants Rodriguez -- so long as he's the old "K-Rod"

WASHINGTON (AP) Dusty Baker would love for his Washington Nationals to add reliever Francisco Rodriguez - so long as K-Rod can replicate the form that made him a six-time All-Star.

Amid reports Monday that the Nationals may sign the veteran right-hander to a minor league deal, Baker said only that he had taken "calls from various people" about him and that nothing was official.

Does Washington's manager want the 35-year-old for his struggling bullpen?
