<h1 class="storyTitle">Torre: 'It's possible' A-Rod could become Dodger</h1> </p> Joe Torre thinks there's a chance Alex Rodriguez could join him in Los Angeles, and the new Dodgers manager sure sounded hopeful.</p> "It's possible," Torre said Friday, repeating that phrase twice as a small grin crept across his face. "You've got four or five clubs maybe that figure to be in the sweepstakes. There aren't a lot of clubs that are going to be able to pay the money."</p> Torre walked away from the New York Yankees after 12 seasons as manager last month when they offered him a one-year contract with a paycut. Rodriguez also cut ties with the club, opting out of his $252 million, 10-year contract during Game 4 of the World Series and becoming the biggest prize on the free-agent market.</p> Now, some think the Dodgers could be a front-runner to land A-Rod, who is likely to win his third MVP award this month. Torre confirmed the two had a better relationship this season in New York. "All I know is it was very comfortable for both of us," the manager said. "And I think my being uncomfortable came from the fact that I didn't think he was as comfortable. This year he just seemed to be a different guy in spring training."</p>
Do this, and then get a package of LaRoche (won't need him because of A-Rod) and others for starting pitching (resurect that Santana rumor?).</p>

You might be the only person in Boston who wants A-rod, I heard that the fans up there want nothing to do with him.
