Apparently Selig encouraged and asked Torre to quit and try to buy the Dodgers...much like he encouraged Sandy Alderson to leave his job with MLB to be the Mets GM. Kinda interesting how Selig tries to use his guys to bail out troubled franchises.
This is Selig's last year on the job before retirement. Holding out hope that he takes the Mets from the Wilpons before he leaves.
