In a press release on MLB.com Former Dodgers Manager Joe Torre says he want to make a bid for the Dodgers.

Torre says in a press release "I am so appreciative of the chance the Commissioner gave me to see the game from a different perspective by working for Major League Baseball, especially during such a great time for our sport. I have made this decision because of a unique chance to join a group that plans to bid for the Dodgers. After leaving the field, this job was an incredible experience, one that I enjoyed very much. I want to thank the Commissioner and all of my colleagues over the last year, particularly the members of the Baseball Operations group and the Major League Umpires."

This is going to be very interesting.  I still cant believe there is so many rich people out there.  I don't know much about Caruso other than he owns Malls.  I like that he has Torre in his corner because Torre can do good things for the Dodgers.  I am still pulling for Dennis Gilbert, But Torre would be nice.

I just had a horrible thought!  What if the new owner moves the Triple-A team out of Albuquerque!
