Torre deserved better

Torre Turns Down Yankees OfferThe Times
The Steinbrenners should have offered Joe Torre more than a year after letting him twist in the wind for days. Either boot immediately or give him more than a “we made a generous offer…”

I’m not suggesting we cry for Torre, but the guy did win four titles and had the Yankees in the playoffs every year. I can’t blame him for turning down a one year deal, especially this late in the game — that’s just insulting.

How long until the Yankees make peace with him so he can have his number retired?
