Joe Torre is the new manager of the Dodgers, having agreed to a three year, $13 million contract.
Interestingly enough he doesn’t seem to have felt insulted by this contract, which pays far less on an annual basis than the Yankees were offering him. The contract last offered to him by New York was worth $5 million with potential bonuses of $3 million more. Yet this LA contract works out to less than $5 million per year!
Oh well, I won’t complain. Welcome back to the NL, Joe Torre!
