Re: Torre is back
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] 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? [/ QUOTE ] Because he's not worth the salary we have been paying him. [/ QUOTE ] Pls explain the factors that go into deciding he's worth $5 million but not $7.5. And on top of that, he's only worth $3 mil more if he win the World Series? The team certainly benefits a lot more than that if he does. To me, you either make the decision that he's the best man for your job, or he's not. Not that's he's the best man at x price. It's not a player we're talking about where a contract value can vary in the tens of millions based on this decisions. It's $2.5 mil. To the richest team in the sport.

Re: Torre is back
my guess is Torre wanted more than a 1 year deal so he didn't have to go through all this BS again next year.

Re: Torre is back
[ QUOTE ]
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 [/ QUOTE ] I think it was win win for Yankees. They obv don't want him back but didn't want to a:fire him b: act like they had no interest in him. They made him a very fair offer: He said no thanks Now the Yanks can say we tried but Joe wasn't interested..we wish him the best of luck blah blah blah. Mo and Posada can't blame the Yanks for letting Torre go. Torre decided he didn't want to manage the Yanks anymore.

Re: Torre is back
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Until of course LaRussa is signed. Then it's just going to be awesome for everyone sans the Yankees. [/ QUOTE ] God please no... [/ QUOTE ] Agreed, LaRussa would be horrible for the Yanks. I think the attitude on the Yanks thread here all year has been that Torre is not managing the bullpen correctly at all. At one point Triumph even told me I could probably manage the bullpen better, haha. However, bringing Torre back could heavily influence Rivera, Posada and A-Rod. That is really important.

Re: Torre is back
Wow, it's hard to imagine how they could have made more of a mockery of the whole process. Offering him a paycut and a 1 year deal sounds like they were just begging him to turn it down. The whole thing is so transparent that they now look silly.

[/ QUOTE ] he wouldn't have to. it's obvious that the directive was win the WS or you're fired. i am just surprised that the yankees would announce such an offer, presuming that torre would take it - now both sides look like [censored]
