Joe Torre, former Yankees manager, may become Bud Selig's VP of operations in MLB office http://tinyurl.com/22r5m6v Joe Torre, the former manager who led the Yankees to four World Series titles and six American League pennants, is in talks with baseball commissioner Bud Selig about joining MLB as executive vice president of operations, according to sources familiar with the talks. Torre, who stepped down as the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers at the end of the 2010 season, has had ongoing discussions with Selig to fill the job once held by Mets general manager Sandy Alderson. If Torre accepts the job, he would in turn be responsible for hiring a replacement for Bob Watson, who resigned in December as VP of rules and on-field operations due to health concerns. Selig is also believed to be discussing the job with other candidates but is known to want a baseball person of high stature to run the operation. Torre would fit that description: He is a nine-time All-Star who played 17 seasons for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals and Mets. In addition to his 12 seasons as the skipper of the Yankees and his three seasons with the Dodgers, he also managed the Mets, Cardinals and Braves. He is expected to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2013 on his first try as a manager. Torre is a member of Selig's special committee for on-field matters, an advisory team that includes managers Tony La Russa, Jim Leyland and Mike Scioscia plus several GMs and owners. If Torre takes the job with MLB, he would oversee the department that Watson ran, one responsible for dealing with umpires and umpire-related issues as well as meting out punishment to players involved in game-affecting brawls and other on-field disputes. Neither Torre or his agent returned calls requesting comment. According to a source close to Torre, the former manager is not interested in a position that is highly structured, as Watson's job would be, and would prefer to remain in Los Angeles, where his daughter Andrea is in school, and work from there. Selig's longtime troubleshooter, John McHale, is serving in Alderson's position until a permanent replacement is found. Torre, 70, left the Dodgers following the 2010 season and after the situation in L.A. began to deteriorate in the wake of the messy divorce case between owners Frank and Jamie McCourt. Torre was offered a job as special assistant to Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti but said in December that he would put off making a decision on his future until after the first of the year, and is not expected to accept that job. He is also believed to have turned down an offer from ESPN to be a part of its baseball coverage. Torre was one of four retiring managers honored by Selig during baseball's winter meetings in December. According to sources, Torre made overtures to Selig last summer about forming his own ownership group to buy the Dodgers should the McCourts be forced to sell the team. It is unclear how the McCourt situation will be resolved but it could drag on indefinitely. Depending on what happens to the team's ownership situation, Torre might be interested in a higher position with the Dodgers. 教主Selig有意找Joe Torre來擔任MLB執行部的副總裁 Torre方面對此事尚未有回應 不過據消息指出Torre本人傾向待在洛杉磯陪伴他的家人 據信Torre也推辭掉了ESPN開給他的棒球播報工作 -- 法國隊 準備好前進世泳盃了! 嗶! _ _ 法國隊 　 .. _ _ 他們在練 喝! 喝! 喝! 喝! ◣ 在練假摔嗎? 游泳... | ╭ | ╭ | ╭ | ╭ ╰ > (我專業的捏)￣７) /10\ ─█ \█ ╰█ / || || |\ ▇▆▆▅▅▄▃▄▅▄▄▃▄▆▅▄▅▅▅▆▅▆▆▅▄▃▃▄▄▅▅▅▆▇▇▆▇▇ --
