heres the offer torre refused
In a surprising turn of events, club president Randy Levine announced during a conference call with reporters originating from Tampa, Fla., that Torre rejected a contract that would have paid him a base salary of $5 million, with $1 million bonuses for each level of the postseason the Yankees reached next season.
Those bonuses would have meant that Torre could have earned as much as $8 million in 2008. Levine said that if the Yankees made it to the World Series next season, his contract would have vested for 2009, with a base salary of $8 million
what 5 million is'nt enough? or was it the incentives thing bothered him. either way good bye joe it was a nice ride but the yanks will still win with or without him.
that is if the players who wanted joe to stay don't leave and play somewhere else.
