That was the Yankees respectfully firing Joe.
I loved Joe n miss him. Great great manager. Saved the Yankees
Yeah that was definitive firing. They knew he wasn’t going to accept that deal. They ‘allowed’ him to publicly walk away on his terms.
From what I remember the incentives were if he won the WS in 08 he would’ve been given the 09 year too. There was no way that 08 was winning the WS. They didn’t even make the playoffs that year.
@@The-CoffeeMan I always thought the Yankees would have done whatever to keep Torre for both the 2008 season and the 2009 season, since it was the final season of Yankee Stadium 2 (2008) and the first season of Yankee Stadium 3 (2009)
I always felt that if the Yankees wanted to part ways with Torre, they should have done it after the 2005 season with Joe Girardi or Don Mattingly seen as the replacement. But Torre stayed after 2005 and Girardi went to the Marlins
Yankees could have made the postseason in 2008 if 2008 AROD played like the 2007 AROD
@@The-CoffeeMan Think they would have under Joe. I love Joe G but he was a rookie manager and he was learning. Id take him back though
@@gregorymccann3223 they might have gone to playoffs under Torre but they 08 team wouldn’t have won the WS. And i wasn’t a huge fan of Girardi but i’d take him over Boone any day of the week.
Classy manager. Wish there were more like him today. He had respect for himself.
I Love Joe Torre
Classy guy. I wish somebody would play this for Boone and Cashman. It’s time for them to realize they’ve lost the players.
Cashman should have been fired years ago. He's too obsessed with analytics that haven't won since they've adopted that attitude. He has done an effective job building a bullpen and a rotation, but year in and year out, the offense fails in October. Cashman hasn't had a good offense in over a decade.
Its not only that they lost the players. The players they have are just not good enough to win.
I don’t care that they won 99 games last year. That team was still trash and there was no way they were winning the WS. Evident by the fact they were embarrassed in the ALCS. The fact that that team won 99 games is an anomaly.
@@The-CoffeeMan Their 99 wins was achieved in large part due to Judge staying healthy and hitting 61 dingers.
@@easy56wedge yeah. And when you needed him most, the ALCS, he batted .063. 1 hit in 17 PA over 4 games.
@@The-CoffeeMan Yup... I think his quest for 62 took too much out of him. Happened to Maris too - but HE performed in the WS.
Joe was dissed. Plain and simple.
I thought after his contract expired in 2007, George Steinbrenner wanted to reduce his $7 M to $5 M per season so Joe said “no”.
On a conference call Torre told Levine to STFU.
first and go yankees
He was handed a golden goose thanks to Buck Sholwater
Thought cus we fired him
Na, they gave him a weak offer so he wouldn't re-sign and the Yankees could look like the good guys.
@JackieDaytona1776 around that time I was in high school. I hated how we treated Joe n Bernie. I hated how we started treating Jorge too
@matsalvatore9074 Yeah, it's tough when you're dealing with legends and their way out. Bernie and Jorge wanted to play longer, but they were clearly done. I'm glad they retired as Yankees. I definitely miss both of them, and really took Posada for granted.
@JackieDaytona1776 yeah ur right. It's a business. Thankfully the core n Bernie did retire yanks. I consider Bernie apart of the core n I'm glad Andy came back n retired a yank also
@@matsalvatore9074 also, another awful Cashman move - how do you allow Andy to go to Houston under any circumstance? Tell me the Sox come back in '04 if Pettitte is on that team. (Also, Clemens won the Cy Young award in Houston that year - they seem to open their wallets at the wrong time and get stingy at the wrong time)
