Who Needs The Yankees Anyways

This past week the New York Yankees offered their manager Joe Torre a one year contract for five million dollars. Joe Torre didn’t like this offer at all so he tried to renegotiate for more money. He was content with the fact that it was for only one year but he wanted more money. The Yankees wouldn’t renegotiate and were going to stay with their offer, so Joe Torre said fine then I’m out. This was a huge shock to our society because Torre is the most well-known manager in all of baseball and no one expected this decision by him. He is the guy that coached their for twelve years and put the Yankees in the playoffs every year and he even won them multiple championships. So, did he make the right choice? I think that yes Joe Torre did make the right decision because during the playoffs there were rumors that if Joe Torre lost the series to the Indians then he would not be re-signed. So, I think that Torre is pretty much saying that fine if you don’t want me as your manager as you said earlier then fine I won’t come back. Now the Yankees have put themselves in between a rock and a hard place because now they have to find someone to replace Joe Torre the manager of all managers. Will Joe Torre continue to work as a manager in Major League Baseball, that question is still unanswered but I think he will because he considered coming back to the Yankees for money than he was initially offered.
