LOS ANGELES -- Joe Torre will announce later Friday that he is stepping down as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers after the season, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed this morning on the condition of anonymity. As has been speculated from the moment Torre was hired almost three years ago, the club also will name hitting coach Don Mattingly to succeed Torre as manager.
Torre told reporters before Thursday night's game at San Francisco that he had decided what he planned to do, but that only his wife, his daughter and Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti knew of that decision and that he wouldn't be making it public until later.
Torre's move was first reported by the Los Angeles Times on Friday.
