Grady Little Gone As Manager of the Dodgers
This didn’t take long. Seeing that he was going to no doubt get the shaft after the vote of confidence from Dodger brass in the off-season, Little decided to quit.
USA Today: Grady Little resigned as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, paving the way for Joe Torre to take the job. The 57-year-old Little leaves with one year remaining on his contract plus a club option for 2009.
Team owner Frank McCourt said on the season’s final day that Little would return next year, but recently several news outlets reported the Dodgers were speaking with Torre about their managerial job.
“I’ve got my own personal reasons,” Little said. “It was a mutual resignation.”
I see Joe Torre getting the job sooner rather than later, but it’s too bad that Little has lost his second managerial job as a winner.
