Torre rejects Yankees' contract offer

NEW YORK -- Joe Torre turned down a one-year contract offer to continue managing the Yankees, the team announced on Thursday. In a shocking 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 extended to 2009, with a base salary of $8 million.
"We respect Joe Torre an awful lot; he is a great, great person and a great Yankee. All we can do as we try to go forward is make him the offer we thought was best for the New York Yankees," Levine said.
Torre arrived in Tampa earlier in the afternoon and met with Yankees officials, including George Steinbrenner and general manager Brian Cashman, at Legends Field, the team's Spring Training complex.
Torre was not present for the conference call. Levine said he had left.
"Based on my conversations with him the last few days, he understood essentially the arena that we were in," Cashman said. "I asked him on the plane down, I asked him last night on the phone, where his mind was at. He honestly didnt know."

The Yankees need to learn that they can't buy the World Series if they don't have the right teamwork. I think their response to Torre is their waking up to that realization.
