  New York Times | Oct 12, 07 9:38 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Still reeling from an embarrassing first-round playoff bounce courtesy of Cleveland, the Yankees are wracked with questions about Joe Torre's job security, A-Rod's next contract, and Mariano's future. The biggest question, however, is what George Steinbrenner's role with the team will be.
