I cannot believe the Yankees would let him go like that! I am amazed at the fact that a manager that brings the franchise 4 world series titles, is now gone. What are they doing down there. The next guy that comes in, will have a tougher road. There is no way you replace a Joe Torre, with his track record. How are you going to offer a 1-year, 5 million contract with incentives to make the World Series. Steinbrenner should get all the blame on this one. Well it should be an interesting season in 2008.
actually, the problem is that Steinbrenner gave Torre an enormous contract 3 years ago, and that was not after winning the World Series. he paid him far more than he had to, and to think that the contract they offered him is unfair when it still pays Torre almost twice as much as the next highest paid manager is a bit crazy. pro athletes can deceive themselves by saying that it's not about the money, but let's hope that fans don't buy into this. if they were offering Torre less than the next highest-paid manager, then maybe he'd have a leg to stand on, but the Yanks actually are trying to be a bit more fiscally responsible (while still keeping Torre at the top), so give them a break.
easy its all about winning!!! not about the service joe gave to the crankees??? bigg george wants every stinkin year to be the year of the yankees!!! aint ganna happen knucklehead!!!!
You can't expect the Yankees to pay Torre as much as he was getting without winning the world series. Yes, he was getting the team to the playoffs every year, but with the Yankees payroll, a trained #### should be able to do that.
