Yesterday Joe Torre talk to the media and explain why he turn down the Yankees offer of a 1 year contract worth $5 million a year with incentives depending on how far the Yankees go in the playoffs.  Joe said that the offer was an insulted to him, and that he feel that he was not wanted. He also said that the money was not an issue but the length of the deal was to him. To me I wanted Joe back as the manager. The players wanted him back, the fans for the most part wanted him back, but the people in the organization don't. People like Randy Levine for example wanted Joe out. It a joke that these people are working for the Yankees. The offer to Joe was a total joke. I mean $5 million is a good salary, but tying incentives base on the team performance is crazy. We all know the playoffs are a crap shoot. Teams get hot at the right time like the Cardinals did last year, and the Rockies did this year. I can see why Joe turn the deal down. Joe wanted to manage the Yankees next year, and he loves being the manager of the Yankees. He has made the playoffs every single year since he became the manager. He has won 4 world championships. Now he has not won one in 7 years, and has lost in the Division Series the last 3 years since they collapsed in the 2004 ALCS to the Red Sox. Joe didn't want to deal with the garbage that he has to deal with anymore. The Yankees should have made a decision on Joe after their series with the Indains. Instead the Yankees drag this along for more than a week, and have egg on their faces. The Yankees will have a new manager next year. Who the manager will be is anyone's guess. As for Joe, he still wants to managed even at 67 years old. He probably will sit out next year and wait to see if there is a team that can win a championship. Joe Torre will be miss by the Yankees.
