With Grady Little out of the way, Joe Torre is the Dodgers' first choice to take over the club. According to sources, Torre has agreed in principle to a three-year deal worth $14.5 million and could be introduced Thursday, the same day the Yankees are holding a press conference to welcome Joe Girardi, Torre's successor, at Yankee Stadium. The Dodgers are denying a deal is complete.

Also mentions that Mattingly, Larry Bowa, and A-Rod could follow him.

I would be surprised if A-Rod followed but good for Joe. I think he was one of the very few things that made me not want to hate the yanks.

If $14.5m is true, that's double Girardi's base Yankee deal.

That's a beautiful snub right there. Yanks cut his salary to $5 mill plus incentives. I don't blame Torre a bit for being insulted. All he has done for them and they want to NOW put a leash on him???

Then he accepts even less in LA. roflmao. Joe doesn't need the money. That's just a BIG ol' message to King George's newly (unwarrantedly) powerful sons. You can't treat quality people like that.

And history repeats itself as New York's team moves out to LA!
