Those two have made explicit Torre comments, thats why I mentioned them. Rodriguez has only made vague comments around Torre and Jeter would never say anything publically. But you're right, anythign could happen now. The only situation that I coud see improving is with Cano - he and Torre didnt seem to get along all the time. |

wow...looking at the proposed offer
Joe Torre was in line to make 8 million dollars had the Yankees won the World Series. Even the base salary of 5 million is pretty absurd. I like that Joe turned it down, it sends a message to Steinbrenner that no one else had ever tried to send.

That is, if Steinbrenner (Sr.) is lucid enough to get the message...  |

The 2nd highest manager salary for 2007 was $3.5M -- $5M with incentives going up to 8 is still pretty good for managing baseball. |

Jmo but Cano is one I don't think they would want to get rid of, but then again that's what I thought about Soriano. Man was I wrong about that.

I think they will try to keep as many of the young stars as possible, especially if Posada and Rivera leave.
If you start with:
Cano
Cabrera
Joba
Kennedy
Ramirez (maybe?)
Molina
Wang
Phillips
Ohlendorf (personal addition)
and factor in that Jeter will probably stay, probably Matsui and/or Damon as well... thats a good nucleus to build around. Who knows what A-Rod/Boras will do. Nothing that happens will suprise me with that situation. | |
