New Opportunities for Joe Torre

As the LA Dodgers prepare for their new manager, Joe Torre also needs to undergo some adjustments for being the new manager of the team.

The team of New York Yankees, after Joe Torre reached the postseason twelve straight times as their manager, made him an offer he could refuse. Actually, he almost had to refuse it, because it was a one-year contract that would have guaranteed only twelve more months of endless speculation about his job status. Joe Torre walked away from that offer, however, his unemployment has lasted only a matter of days. Los Angeles hired him as manager, on Thursday, with a three-year pact for about $13 million. It's a pay cut from his last New York contract, but nobody pays like the Yankees and at this point, it is not about the money for somebody with the standing of Joe Torre. The deal is a two-way street. As much as the Dodgers give Joe Torre a job, he gives them additional credibility. In addition, he won four World Series with the Yankees. If none of those came after 2000, the fact that the Yankees each October found themselves facing somebody with much better pitching indicated that the dry spell was hardly the responsibility of the manager.

Furthermore, Joe Torre routinely conducted himself with dignity and grace in the face of the semi-crisis atmosphere that accompanies New York whenever they are not winning big. Torre is respected within the game, not only for his managerial accomplishments, but for who he is as a human being as well. If Joe Torre is stepping into a prominent role with one of the most prominent franchises in baseball, he will not be inheriting a push-button situation with the LA Dodgers. Managing this club will not be like managing the Yankees.

The Dodgers team that stumbled home at 82-80 this season was a fractured group, demographically divided between promising young players and fading veterans. This is going to be a managing job that depends more heavily than the Yankees job on dealing with players who are growing into their Major League roles, as well as healing the internal rifts. However, Joe Torre has successfully managed a series of difficult situations and individuals with the team of Yankees. There is no reason to expect that by changing coasts, he will lose his ability to relate to players on a fundamentally fair, empathic level. Torre will have to do some of his best work here, because the National League West has become a very tough neighborhood. The National League pennant winners, the Colorado Rockies, are loaded with young talent. So are the Arizona Diamondbacks, who won the division in 2007 and went on to reach the NL Championship Series. And the San Diego Padres will return a strong pitching corps.

On the positive side, Joe Torre will be working with a shrewd and diligent general manager, Ned Colletti. And while the Dodgers, like the other 28 franchises, do not have the Yankees' resources, their player payroll of $124 million for 2007 was third highest in the Major Leagues.

Anyhow, Joe Torre deserved better than he received at the end of the day from the Yankees. He deserved to have a managing job, with a modicum of security and he has one, with a team rich in history and tradition. It will be a series of challenges, but this manager has a history of dealing successfully with those. This is a chance for Joe Torre to improve his managerial legacy, which really does not require much enhancing. But for anybody who dismissed his success in New York as the result merely of an enormous player payroll, this job won't allow for that rationalization. Only the passage of seasons will truly tell, but it appears that this hiring is a two-way winner; the LA Dodgers and Joe Torre should be well-served.

Let’s watch out for Joe Torre and the LA Dodgers! Come and see their games for the upcoming season.
