Joe Torre and the Los Angeles Dodgers are finalizing terms of a three-year contract, reportedly for just under $15 million. The Dodgers said Wednesday they had not completed a deal. "I?m excited," Scott Proctor, who was traded from the Yankees to the Dodgers last season, said in a telephone interview. "I think it?s going to be great for the organization. He knows how to win. He knows what it takes. He?s a very directed and gifted leader." The Dodgers have won one playoff game since Orel Hershiser?s outstanding work in the 1988 World Series. Torre won 76 postseason games in 12 years with the Yankees. His signing with the bedrock sports franchise in the country?s second-biggest market will have a profound impact.
