TAMPA, Fla. -- Joe Torre turned down the New York Yankees' offer to return as manager on Thursday.
The Yankees offered Torre a one-year deal with a base salary of $5 million and incentives that would have increased his salary to $8 million based on postseason performance. Under that offer, if Torre reached the World Series in 2008, an option for 2009 would have vested.

My take this offer was a pay cut designed for him to refuse. So since he declined and was not accually fired. Thus making it easier for Mattingly or Giradi to accept the Yankee job. Which I think they would not have if Torre were fired.

Or are they thinking the free agents will resign because he wasn't fired and left on his own.
Hope they go 0 and 162 next year

IF JOE DOES NOT COME BACK THEN IT WILL BE DONNIE BASEBALL IN DA BRONX IN 2008 AND THEY WILL GO 162-0.

-Joe Torre will have another job just about the minute he wants it. Who I feel sorry for are the young, developing players who did so well this past year. Joe's talent with this group is astounding, and the boss really loused himself up on this one. I think he should run to the nearest phone, call Torre and offer him another three million dollars to re-consider. It will be interesting to see if A-Rod and Rivera come back.

I know Mariano R. and Jorge P. said that they would not be back if Joe got fired.....we'll have to wait and see because this amounts to a resignation on the part of Joe T.

Liz, I agree...if Joe walks away from the Yankees and still has the desire to manage...he'll get snapped up by someone quickly...there was some talk of a possible vacancy in Saint Louis.

BARRY----NO I'M NOT SAYING THAT. IT LOOKS LIKE THE YANKEES DID NOT WANT HIM BACK. IF THEY WANTED HIM BACK THEY WOULD HAVE OFFERED HIM A 2 OR 3 YEAR CONTRACT. SO THEY OFFERED HIM A ONE YEAR CONTRACT WITH A PAY CUT.   |

HEY MIKE---THEY LOVE JOE IN ST. LOUIS JUST AS MUCH AS WE DO IN N.Y They sure do...there was some talk about Tony LaRussa leaving and you can bet that the Cardinal's first phone call would be to our very own Mr Torre.  |
