Good for Joe!
At the very least, The Yankees should have offered him the same money. A cut in pay is a slap in the face to Torre.
The Yankees played this one beautifully. "Let's put the ball in Torre's court, but deflate some of the air in that ball so that he looks like he cannot throw it." Manipulative pricks. They knew damn well that Torre could NOT accept a cut in pay. Not because of the monetary loss, but more of it being principle and a loss of pride. Had he accepted a cut in pay then it would be like admitting that he has not done a good job as a manager.
And the Yankees knew this.
For all the greatness this organization has achieved throughout their existence and for all the legendary players that have played with them throughout their existence, it all is meaningless at the moment because right now, the way that front office of this organization handled themselves from the start of the playoffs, threatening the future of their manager in public while the games were still going on, they just may have reached their lowest point in their history as far as showing any kind of class goes.
What a disgrace.
You Go Joe!

Joe Torre brought an air of calm and class that will be missing from the team from now on.
DC, now I can definitely see Posada going over to the Mets next year!
The Steinbrenners showed themselves to be disrespectful, piggy little ingrates! Christ, I'll never understand it. Yes, Torre is a Hall of Fame manager. Yes, he is now pseudo-fired...gee, I wish I had the chance to turn down a $5 million dollar 1-year deal with the Yankees...he'd be the highest paid manager in the game, by a considerable sum. If Posada wants to go, he can take his whiffle bat with him and head right over to Queens. Same with Mariano Rivera. Both of those guys have been made quite wealthy with their contracts with the Yankees, and to act like they've been "disrespected" is complete hogwash. Keep posting Torre's (fabulous) record, but it doesn't change the fact that this team was DOA at the start of the season, and without A-Rod, would have been in the basement. For the third straight year in a row, our team has been embarrassed in the playoffs. An air of calm and class? This team needed a friggin' torch under their asses this postseason, not sleepy Joe and his Bigelow green tea©. We all applaud Cashman and the youth movement on the field. I say we do the same when it comes to the bench. Give my regards to Joe (Girardi).
