LOS ANGELES — Joe Torre may have a new job lined up with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Soon after Grady Little resigned as Dodgers manager on Tuesday, one report said Torre and the team had already reached a deal that would give the former New York skipper another gig only weeks after he parted ways with the Yankees.

The New York Post reported on its Web site Tuesday night that Torre had agreed in principle to a $14.5 million, three-year contract with the Dodgers, but a baseball official with knowledge of the search said no deal was imminent. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the job was still open.

Torre's agent, Maury Gostfrand, declined to comment.

NEW YORK — Joe Girardi is back in pinstripes, taking over as New York Yankees manager from his mentor.Girardi was hired Tuesday, agreeing to a three-year contract to replace Joe Torre in New York's dugout."I think any of us would be somewhat surprised to get the job because it's such an honor," Girardi said. "I'm extremely excited and thrilled."The deal is worth an average salary of at least $2 million annually, a baseball official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team had not yet announced the details.
