Joe Torre shockingly announced he will retire from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and hands the reins to successor Don Mattingly today with two weeks left in the regular season.
It’s a move that caught everyone by surprise considering that the Dodgers may want to interview others such as Tim Wallach, but nevertheless Mattingly is the incoming manager while Torre is nothing but a lame duck on the West Coast.
This offseason is promising to be quite the boiling one when it comes to managers and vacant team openings. As for Joe Torre, where will he end up going next season?
You can bet he’ll end up with a big market team with a playoff bound roster that is destined for the World Series. Remember he is retiring from the Dodgers, not baseball, so whether he is or isn’t we look at Torre’s possible destinations this offseason.
