Joe Torre has rejoined Major League Baseball as its executive VP of baseball operations, MLB announced on Twitter. The longtime player and manager had stepped down from his duties at the league office to join a group bidding for the Dodgers.
Joe Garagiola Jr., Kim Ng, and Peter Woodfork had assumed Torre's responsibilities at MLB while Torre was away. MLB said it would search for a replacement, but never found one. Torre joined MLB as executive VP for baseball operations last February.
It must be nice to be able to leave a job for greener pastures and then when those pastures turn brown return to the same high paying job.
I was just thinking the same..
As a Yankee fan, I never had any use for Torre …… he had the horses, so he won (most of the time) One of the things I had against him, was the way he destroyed pitchers …… over & over out of the pen (Paul Quantrill, Scott Proctor, Tanyan Sturtze, et.) Now add to that ……. the way he fiddled while Rome burned, during the 2004 playoffs. Myself, i wish he would go home and put his feet up.
