It looks to be PRETTY close to fact.
Dodgers reportedly to bring in Torre, fire Little - Baseball - MSNBC.com
I hope it's true. Been a Dodger fan since the early 50's. Hope he takes cousin Don with him.
I can see A-Rod going to the Dodgers. Maybe Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera will go their also because of Torre.
Don't bet on it...
Goodbye Joe it was nice, but all things come to an end. Let's see if you can win with another team now.
A-rod a lot of class there making the annoucement that you opt out right in the middle of a WS game...:up
And for what it is worth Joe G IMHO will be a better manager then Donnie baseball.
Nope the Giants. More money. As that is what he is all about..
Do you think he loved Joe Torre? Do remember where he batted him against the tigers in the 06 playoffs.
I think he will want to see what the Cubs have to offer because he is very fond of Lou Pinella, his 1st manager. The OTHER heavy rumor I am hearing is that the NY Mets want Johan Santana...but Minnesota wants Jose Reyes in return. IF the Mets pull the trade, do not be surprised that they have a deal in the works for A-Rod already. Because let's face it, he LOVES the spot light of NY and HATES the spotlight of NY.....LOL. AND, that team is alot closer to making the World Series than most teams.....other than the Red Sox, even WITH their total collapse not to make the playoffs. AND they ARE one of the handful of teams that can actually afford him.
OK, where do they put Wright and Reyes as they are fan favorites here in NY and will never get traded..NEVER....$$$$$$$$$ say.....$$$$$$$$$ NEVER!
The smart money says the Giants...
I hope you're right but Magowan and Sabean don't like to spend money so I don't know how this is gonna happen.
Listen...."fan favorite" ONLY mean something when the team is NOT a playoff contender. When you are as close as you are to being a great team...and you are ONE TRADE away...."fan favorites" become VERY expendable.
I am not hockey fan, nor do I think I know hockey....but when a team is will to trade Wayne Gretsky IN HIS PRIME....who happens to be one of the, if not THE greatest player of all-time....that ANYONE can be traded.
Ask Shaq...Ask Kevin Garnett...Ask Hershcel Walker...Ask Tom Seaver...
All GREAT PLAYERS close to the prime...and traded.....
I think his first post suggested that they would trade Reyes to Minnesota for Santana first...
Most of the press reports think that he may wind up with the Angels and there are reports today of the Mets. I don't see torre wanting him with the Dodgers---though that is not a done deal yet.
But I guess that nothing should surprise me. Heck maybe he will wind up at third for the Red Sox. They wanted him a tone time. They even signed him at one time.
Just to be a contrarian I will quess that he winds up as a Cub. They could use a shortstop---his old position----and just might put up with him to get his bat. but to be truthful I have no idea what will happen
