The Los Angeles Dodgers, coming off their first losing season since 1999, will have a new manager next year as Jim Tracy agreed to part ways with the team on Monday. The 49-year-old Tracy had signed a two-year contract extension last offseason, after guiding the club to a 93-69 record in 2004 and the NL West title for the first time since 1995. However, the Dodgers ended the 2005 season with a 71-91 record, the first time the team has been under .500 since 1999 when they were 77-85. "Jim Tracy has been a passionate and valued member of the Dodger organization. I have an extremely high regard for him professionally and personally," said Dodgers general manager Paul DePodesta. "However, we felt strongly it was time for a change." Tracy managed the Dodgers for five seasons and compiled a 427-383 record. He also served for two seasons as the club's bench coach. "It has been a privilege to work with the Dodger organization," said Tracy. "My seven seasons in Los Angeles have been a part of my life that I will never forget and for that I am truly grateful."
