It makes sense for Torre to resign unless Yankees win. His contract is over, he won't get another huge one anyway from the Yanks, and his era was over like 3-4 yrs ago. Because of his amazing era one, he earned a chance at smooth transition into era two, but it hasn't gone that way. Time to go.

BTW, Girardi would be an awful fit in NY. He has zero reputation at this point to fall back on in any argument, so he'd either have to take massive $hit from Steinbrenner or get fired like 3 months in once he takes a stand. Same thing would have happened to Torre actually had he not developed an eternal resume 2-3 years in.

Bowa would be a perfect fit -- he's basically the polar opposite of Girardi and Torre.
