Dodgers manager Joe Torre isn't sure if he'll continue managing past his contract, which expires in 2010.
Torre, 68, is in the second year of his three-year deal with Los Angeles.
"I've got another year, but beyond that I'm not sure," Torre said. "Well, next year is always in question. You hope you still continue to feel as energized as you do now."
Torre managed the Yankees from 1996 to 2007.
"I was wondering if the managing had just gotten to the point where the stress was outweighing the enjoyment," Torre said. "The Dodgers were the first reason that I decided to come here ... another big part was that I was curious if this managing stuff could be fun or if I was just too old -- and it's been fun."

Dodgers manager Joe Torre doesn't believe that suspended outfielder Manny Ramirez should be an All-Star.
Ramirez is currently fourth in the National League outfield voting, close to the third, and final, position.
"No, I don't, and if you ask Manny, he'd give you the same answer," said Torre. "I understand a lot of it is a popularity contest and you want to give the manager the best players, but to me, the significance of the All-Star Game is to reward players who had a good first half.
"They don't always do that. But I always feel it's great to have young players [given] a chance to make the club. Look at [Evan] Longoria, and rightly so.
"Manny's popularity is why he's gotten votes. Realistically, he didn't have, except for reputation, a right to be an All-Star. It probably isn't the right thing for him this year, from the baseball aspect, I've got to think."

Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said the pitching staff needs significant improvement.
"We can't go to the bullpen every day as early and as often as we do," Colletti said.
Colletti said he had talked this season with the San Diego Padres about Jake Peavy.
"If we could make a move, we'd do it, no matter the lead, no matter the deficit," Colletti said. "The goal is to improve the club."
