After making the playoff for the past 12 season and going 4 and 2 in the world series, New Yankees Manager has turned down a deal that would make him the coach next season. He turned down a 5 million dollar deal that was 2.5 million less than his old deal, plus he was not guaranteed the 2009 season unless the team made the world series. To me this is bad. Joe Torre is everything the Yankees every want in a manger. He is calm Cool and collective. He has the New York/Gangster mystique. I would like to thank Joe for being able to see him manage the greatest team in baseball and let him know that he will be missed.
So where does this leave the Yankees? Who would you like to see them get to replace Torre?Also do they start the rebuilding process?Labels: Joe Torre, MLB, New York Yankees |
Yep, Torre "fired" the Boss. I think he may have been the first to do so. He is a great manager. Now that he will be out of the Yankees, he can finally relax. A rest well deserved.
