Okay, so if the Dodgers do fire Grady, and hire Joe Torre and Mattingly, what are the chances they sign A-Rod, Posada, and/ or Rivera?

Posada and Mo are resigning w/ NY. It's pretty much a given. Both will be getting 3 year deals for roughly $40 million. And considering that Torre dropped A-Rod to the 8th spot in the line-up in a playoff game, I seriously doubt A-Rod wants anything to do w/ Torre. And I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

I agree it's pretty damn unlikely. Of course, a lot of Yankee fans were predicting in the "Where does A-Rod play next year" thread, that there was zero chance A-Rod was leaving New York, as well. But hell, I'm just asking opinions here.

I think the last thing the Dodgers are about to do is sign a bunch of mid-to-late 30s players, given the way they were sitting Kent, Gonzo, etc., late last season.
