if true, wow.

[Outshined_One]

It's the most logical fit for Torre right now, imo.

[E.J.]

That didn't take long. I agree that it's a good fit for Torre.

proctor is just going to cut his arm off this time and save joe the trouble.

[SouthSideRyan]

Joe might actually play the young guys :(

ESPN's sourcing the Journal News of Hudson County.

Torre seems like a manager that is willing to put the young guys out there if they deserve the shot. I havent followed the Yankees any closer than what I see on ESPN.

Grady Little resigned today.

 

And Joe Torre has reportedly agreed to a 3 year/$14.5 million contract.

[Derwood]

odds that the Dodgers win more games than the Yankees next year?

Will these idiots trade Kemp already!

The only thing Torre had going for him as manager of the Yankees was that he was good at managing egos.

 

A monkey could fill out the line up card for the Yankees and make the playoffs every year. In that regard, Torre was certainly nothing special as manager. I like the guy, but his resume isn't really all that impressive considering.

You should know everything about them then.

[Abe Frohman]

Grady Little may be the most underappreciated manager in the game.

[bhogg]

I think Torre is a very good manager. If I recall, he won a lot of games (no division titles) with some really crappy cardinal teams.

[CuseCubFan69]

I'm sure the Dodgers want to delay this Torre signing for as long as they can because of the lack of minorities being interviewed for managerial jobs. I forgot who got the Pirate job but if he isn't a minority MLB better or has to cover its butt regarding this.

[Guest]

The Dodgers actually wanted Girardi and offered him a contract before the Yankees had.

[Derwood]

torre will just love love love juan pierre

I forgot who got the Pirate job.....

That's probably because nobody got the Pirates' job yet. :D

That could indeed have something to do with it!

[Post Count Padder]

It's official:

 

Jeff Kent-2B-Dodgers Nov. 1 - 5:29 pm et

 

Dodgers named Joe Torre manager.

 

He couldn't finish the job in New York, but Torre is completely committed to wrecking Scott Proctor's arm, no matter what it takes. Why else would he choose L.A.? Well, there is the three-year deal, likely at more than $4 million per year. Los Angeles would seem to become an even more favorable destination for free agents with Torre in the fold, but it's not a great bet that any Yankees players will follow him to California.
