Joe Torre Wants To Retire After 2011 Season
Posted Under: Baseball Betting
Dodgers manager Joe Torre has said that he wants to add another year onto his contract in Los Angeles and then retire from managing. His current deal is set to expire after the upcoming season.
Torre said negotiations for an extension are underway between Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti and Torre’s agent, Maury Gostfrand.
Given Torre’s managerial track record, his relationship with Colletti and success in his first two seasons with the Dodgers, it would seem that working out the actual deal should be nothing more than a technicality.
Torre is entering the final season of a three-year, $13 million contract.
Heading into his 29th season as a major league manager, Torre has a career record of 2,246-1,915. His teams have reached the postseason 14 consecutive seasons.
