It looks like former Yankees manager Joe Torre won't be unemployed for long.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have decided to fire current manager Grady Little and replace him with Torre, according to a story in the Journal News of Westchester County (N.Y.).
The New York Post reported that the team is talking buyout with Little, leaving the door open for Torre -- a four-time World Series winner -- to take over. It's possible he'll bring Don Mattingly along as bench coach, as well as Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long.
Joe Girardi agreed to take over as Yankees manager Tuesday.
Torre has been working the circuit, even going on The Late Show With David Letterman on Monday night, where he underwent a grilling from the show's host.
"Maybe Dodgers, maybe Angels?" Letterman asked.
"Well, the Dodgers have a contract, I mean, a manager," Torre said. "The Angels have a very good manager."
He went on to say "that's a bad question to ask. I know what's been rumored. The local paper today is talking about going to L.A. There has been a time or two that something that has been in the newspaper hasn't been true."
