Good for Torre. WTF incentive for a manager reaching playoff rounds?

The Yanks hierarchy is in shambles.

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe paying him $5 million a year makes him the highest paid manager in the game...thats pretty nice given the last two years your team has had nearly a 200 million payroll but laid a egg in the first round both times.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's also a 25% pay cut. Why? Because his "ace" was [censored] in the playoffs and Joba threw a wild pitch.

If you don't want him back, then don't bring him back. What's the point of wanting him back but demanding he take less pay?

Good for Torre. Good for the Yankees. Looks like everyone wins.

edit: Until of course LaRussa is signed. Then it's just going to be awesome for everyone sans the Yankees.

Actually, sounds like Joe said bye bye to them. Joe deserves better, and the Yankees don't deserve to have such a class act managing them.

Agreed, I am sure that Joe Torre will find teams lining up to pay him $5 million a year.

Because he's not worth the salary we have been paying him.

You pay for performance. If it's Joe's doing that the team won the World Series, then it's Joe's doing that the team didn't win the World Series.

I don't blame Torre - they negotiated him into a corner and thought he'd sign up for this. He didn't. Blah.

at first i thought this was a solid move

bring him back for one year as insurance to make sure that rivera, posada and possibly a-rod resign and then don't exercise his option

now this is a bit of a cluster [censored]

im not sure what to make of this
