According to a report on ESPN.com, Joe Torre will probably lose his job as the manager of the New York Yankees if they fail to make the ALCS.
“His job is on the line,” Steinbrenner told The Bergen Record. “I think we’re paying him a lot of money. He’s the highest-paid manager in baseball, so I don’t think we’d take him back if we don’t win this series.”
Personally, I don’t understand how you can fire Torre for not making the ALCS when you (Steinbrenner) didn’t fire him when the Yankees were down and out in June. Torre has been the manager of the Yankees since 1996 but the last time they won the World Series was back in 2000 when they beat the Mets.
Big Stein also said that he thinks the Yankees will re-sign Alex Rodriguez.
