It has been reported (not surprisingly) that former Yankee manager Joe Torre will manage the LA Dodgers. This comes days after the resignation of the previous manager for LA, Grady Little. This contract is not as insulting as the one New York gave him. It's a 3 year contract with an undisclosed amount of money. Here's one quote from Torre:
Torre, 67, becomes the Dodgers' eighth manager since they moved west from Brooklyn for the 1958 season. Torre grew up in Brooklyn, rooting for the rival New York Giants and detesting the Dodgers.
"As a kid growing up, you didn't like them," Torre said on WFAN radio in New York less than an hour before the hiring was announced. "As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because ... you either loved them or you hated them." [1]
The new hiring also comes days after Joe Girardi was hired by the Yanks.
Many people believed that Torre would be next for the sinking Dodgers, and now the question remains whether Torre is interested in bringing A-Rod with him.
This is a breaking story, and more details will come later.
Thoughts on this one? I think it's great, although I still don't think it will keep Dodger fans from leaving after the 7th inning.
