' October 18, 2007 -- TAMPA - Joe Torre fired The Boss.
In a shocking result, Torre today turned down the Yankees $5 million, 1-year offer to return as the Yankees' manager for his 13th season.

Torre was offered $5 million base package and another $1 million for each the division series, league series and the World Series.

"Joe torre turned that offer down today. We respect his decision. We respect everything he has done but it is now time to move forward," Yankees' President Randy Levine said.'

Prop was Torre is fired by NYY [not retired or contract expire] by Dec 31, 2007. I am now the clear winner, correct?

I would say you should win because they didn't fire him like most thought they would...however, if the bet included his contract running out (which it's going to) then I dont see how you could win unless they re-new his contract. IMO

Yes. The prop was worded that Torre must be fired.
Retire = win
contract up = win
The Yanks offered him a new deal. Thus offer <> fired.

Have fun arguing this out with the site Naj.
I'm guessing it's slightly better than 50/50 that they will pay you as they should.

Yeah, I try not to think. I was just pointing out the outcome that'll probably happen, lest he retire. After looking yeah, you should win.

I think there is no doubt you should win.

However, I wonder if this was all an elaborate setup for everyone to save face.

Seems clear enough.
What book?
