Where did all this hate suddenly come from? He says it's because Cashman didn't stick up for him in a meeting but then in his book he repeatedly mentions people including players making fun of A-Rod when he first came to New York. This means he knew about it at the time, and didn't stick up for A-Rod then.
Isn't that a bit hypocritical? :roll:
And anyway, the reason the yankees didn't resign torre is very simple and this book brings it into the light of day. Torre won the WS with a bunch of homegrown talent. It's obvious he is very terrible at managing superstar free agents, and may in fact, actively dislike them and encourage ostracizing of these players. Since the yankees are not going to turn into the Florida Marlins overnight, regardless of how many championships torre promises with homegrown talent, he clearly had no place left in the yankees organization.
Thank you for being a part of the team that won the World Series four times Mr. Torre, but I'm sorry, no one, not even you, has a lifetime, manage as long as you like then quit when you want, pass on the New York Yankees. You go 8 years without a ring in New York and actually make your team worse every time the yankees buy you more very talent players, you simply aren't gonna stick around. GET USED TO IT.
