BREAKING: Joe Torre Goes From Yankee Pinstripes To Dodger Blue

A move speculated for days has come to be. Joe Torre, formerly of the New York Yankees, was officially named the new coach of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The deal is reportedly worth $4 million per year over three years and, from what he says, it seemed like a no-brainer:

“Having grown up in Brooklyn, I have a great understanding of the history of the Dodger organization and I am committed to bringing a world championship back to Los Angeles,” Torre said in a statement released by the team. “I consider it an honor to be a part of this organization, which is one of the most storied franchises in all of sports.”

Let’s see if he can make it as storied as the team he left.
