TORRE AGREES TO MANAGE DODGERS
By GEORGE KING
October 31, 2007 -- With Grady Little out of the way in L.A., 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 tomorrow, the same day the Yankees are holding a press conference to welcome Joe Girardi, Torre's successor, at Yankee Stadium.

SHERMAN: The Move That Had To Be Made
The Dodgers last night denied a deal had been reached. Sides are discussing the salary for Torre's potential coaching staff. Historically, the Dodgers have not paid coaches very well.
And Alex Rodriguez could be following Torre from The Bronx to Hollywood. One of the reasons Rodriguez opted out of the last three years on his Yankees contract was he wasn't sure what Yankee life would be like without Torre's calming presence in the clubhouse and dugout. In the Dodgers, Rodriguez will find a club in dire need of a jolt at the plate and in the stands.
