According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, he tweets that Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager Joe Torre and GM Ned colletti have agreed to suspend contract negotations for the time being. They play to pick up the talks later this year to avoid distractions. Nightengale goes on to say that Torre is not certain that he wants to manage next. “I told Ned (Colletti), let me see how I feel.”

Torre’s three-year, $13 million contract will wrap up after the completion of the 2010 season. Torre and the team have been working on a contract extension for quite some time. In the event the Dodgers cannot sign Torre, the heir apparent to the managerial throne will most likely be Don Mattingly.
