Joe Torre Uncomfortable With Current Dodgers Ownership Uncertainty

There was talk after the season that Joe Torre would sign an extension through 2011. Did he?

No, and that's led to some speculation that Torre is uncomfortable with the current ownership uncertainty and how it might be impacting the roster. However, at the recent Winter Meetings, Colletti said the talks with Torre not only included a one-year extension as manager, but also a consulting role with the organization once Torre retired as manager, when he presumably would hand over the reins to Don Mattingly. Nobody has said anything to indicate that isn't still the plan.
