Andy Pettitte has spoken with Joe Torre about joining the Dodgers, sources tell Ken Rosenthal. Get the latest hot stove update.

The Dodgers' two year-offer to Manny Ramirez -- believed to be for about $45 million -- is very unlikely to lead to a quick deal between the sides, or perhaps any deal.

Even if the Dodgers are unable to re-sign Manny Ramirez, no one will be able to accuse GM Ned Colletti of not trying.

DANA POINT, Calif. -- Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said what's been obvious for a while, and that is that their talks with superstar free-agent outfielder Manny Ramirez aren't going to result in a quick signing.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Dodgers appear willing to meet or come close to superstar free agent Manny Ramirez's annual salary target but are strongly disinclined from acceding to his wish for a deal of five or six years, people familiar with the club's thinking tell SI.com.

As he often does, Jimmy Rollins set the tone with the game's first at-bat. Now the Phils are World Series-bound, Mark Kriegel says.

The Phils are in the World Series for the first time since 1993 after beating the Dodgers 5-1. It's time to take this balanced team seriously, writes Jon Heyman.

Cole Hamels hurled another gem in Game 5 as the Phillies dispatched the Dodgers and advanced to their first World Series in 15 years.

The Dodgers' fading pennant hopes hang on the arm of Chad Billingsley. Ken Rosenthal expects him to come up big in Game 5.

The odds facing the Dodgers are daunting, says SI.com's Lee Jenkins. Trailing the Phils 3-1, L.A. has to beat Cole Hamels just to send the NLCS back to Philly.
