I was going to write a roundup post concerning all of the offseason turmoil in the Bronx, but New York Press columnist Russ Smith captured it all in one passage:
Joe Torre, a good guy who immediately congratulated the Marlins Saturday night, doesn't need this sort of abuse from the Yankees' owner. He can write his own ticket: manage somewhere else, go back to the broadcast booth, go fishing. Torre's an automatic for the Hall of Fame once he retires. He ought to pack it in before the Yanks-gasp!-fail to reach the playoffs at all and he's fired.
Even those of us consumed with Yankee hatred have a soft spot for Torre. Though I'm sure he'd say he's been fired before, I don't know of anyone who watches baseball who wants to see it happen.
