Is the rumer true Joe Torre is getting fired again?

Question

Grady Little did have a 2 year contract.The Dogers allready have to pay him.At this time last Dodgers were 7 games over .500

Answer 1

What happened? Last year when the Dodgers signed him this place was pouring with questions about the Dodgers going to the Series because Torre was manager. You'd have thought he never lost a game as manager. I guess reality is different.

Answer 2

No, Joe Torre isn't to blame. All the blame will be shifted on the GM, Ned Coletti, even though he did his best. There is another rumor that the GM of the Yankees, Brian Cashman, might be going to the Dodgers in the off-season. His contract is coming up and Cashman and Torre are close friends.

The Dodgers lost their star shortstop, Rafeal Furcal, who would have been a big help to their terrible defense. Now the Dodgers can't even turn a double play. They also lost their closer, Saito, who have prevented all those late-inning losses unlike Broxton. And, last but not least, it would have been a different story if we had a healthier Brad Penny.

Joe Torre is staying a Dodger, for sure.  

Answer 3

The Dodgers don't have the same personnel that the Yankees did in the last 1990s. You're now seeing that Torre isn't a superman. Remember he was fired by the Mets, Braves, and Cardinals.

But, I do think the Dodgers should be on top in the NL West, the same way I think the Mets should now have a 12-game lead in the NL East. Both teams have not played up to their potential.

To answer your question, NO, I don't see Torre getting fired, at least not this year anyway.

Answer 4

It isn't Torre's fault the Dodgers signed a bunch of washed up bums to huge deals (Andruw Jones for example)...it also isn't Torre's fault that Frank McCourt is a a tight-*** more concerned with adorning Dodger Stadium with corporate sponsors and raising parking ticket fees than fielding a winning team...firing Torre would be stupid...replacing ownership would be smart...

Answer 5

no
