When last seen packing his gear after the 2007 season finale, Dodgers' second basemen Jeff Kent said he was driving home to Texas, would spend October re-acquainting with the family and around November tell his agent whether he's returning for one last grab at the ring at age 40 or forfeiting the $9 million salary that vested in order to become a full-time dad and motorcycle dealer. Agent Jeffrey Klein on Friday said the meeting with Kent hasn't taken place yet, but he cautioned not to overanalyze the influence Torre's hiring would have on Kent's decision, which Kent had said would be driven mostly by family considerations. Klein is in a unique position with the current Dodgers. He not only represents Kent, but he also represents new Dodgers' manager Joe Torre.
