Joe Torre, who coached the powerful-high-payroll New York Yankees into the postseason 12 straight times, has left.
Baseball fans weren’t sure where he was going to go or even if he would get a job with another team…but of course he came out on top. Why wouldn’t he, he’s Joe Torre?
So Torre is the new coach of the LA Dodgers. He’ll be looking at a different ocean and in a different league (American to National now). Torre is fully convinced he will bring a world championship to LA.
Torre, the 8th all-time most winning manager with 2,067 wins, two-time manager of the year, and with four world championships, signed a three-year contract worth about $13 million.
The Yankees were known for big names and big salaries. Do you think Torre will bring that to the Dodgers or was that just a New York thing? I’m curious to how LA’s season will unfold…
Any predictions?

I think Joe T. will do a great job in L.A.
So much history with that team.
He will build on the Dodgers' legacy.
The Yankees, as you may agree, really did him wrong.
Yes I agree, the Yanks did do him wrong.
I think he's going to build L.A. up just like he did with the Yankees.
I think Joe Torre will do great wherever he is. It's not the location, it's the man!!
Well...LaNop gal :) You just may be right!
