Fresh off a championship in Japan, Bobby Valentine is fielding calls from U.S. teams. Although he has repeatedly said he's happy in Japan and plans to fulfill the final year of his three-year contract with the Chiba Lotte Marines, he told the New York Post that he has had informal calls from the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Devil Rays. "I have a great job," the former Mets manager told The Post. "Just to manage in the States -- just to manage in the States -- doesn't have that much appeal to me. "If I managed somewhere that is a good fit, that is a wonderful opportunity, to be a challenging venture, that could appeal to me."
