After a successful ten-year career as a catcher with the Dodgers and Angels, Torborg switched to coaching. In 1977, he became the manager of the Cleveland Indians. In 1989, he became the manager of the Chicago White Sox. A year later, the White Sox won 94 games which was a 25 game improvement from 1989. For his efforts with the 1990 Chicago White Sox, Torborg won the American LeagueManager of the Year Award. He would stay with the White Sox for one more year before moving to the New York Mets.
Unfortunately, Torborg wasn't as successful with the Mets as he was with the White Sox. A year after leading the White Sox to an 87-75 record, his 1992 New York Mets posted a 70-92 record. After starting the 1993 season with a 13-25 record, the Mets fired him and replaced him with Dallas Green.
For the rest of the 1990s, he kept busy working as a sportscaster for the likes of CBS Radio and Fox. Torborg returned to managing first with the Montreal Expos in 2001 and then the Florida Marlins in 2002.
In 2003, he was fired from the Florida Marlins after they started off the season 16-22. He then returned to brodcasting on Fox. He has been hired as the color commentator for Atlanta Braves games on FSN South, replacing Tom Paciorek. Since becoming an Atlanta Braves commentator, Torborg has a fan club known as "Torborg South". The club's logo looks similar to the logo of the Turner South Network.
