It's the first three-game winning streak of the season for the Dodgers under new manager Joe Torre, who used his 24th different lineup in 25 games as he searches for a consistent combination. More »

      Pettitte Ponders Retirement

      In the latest development of a tumultuous Yankees offseason, star pitcher Andy Pettitte declined his $16 million option for 2008. However, his agent stressed that Pettitte's choice was between the Yankees or retirement, saying, "If Andy decides to play, I am confident we can reach an agreement with the Yankees in 24 hours."  General manager Brian Cashman told the Daily News he wanted Pettitte to return. "In fact, I'd say I need him to," he said. More »

      Girardi Accepts 3-Year Offer to Manage Yanks

      Joe Girardi has agreed to a three-year, $6 million contract to accept the unenviable task of succeeding Joe Torre, and his four championships, as the Yankees manager. Girardi is no slouch in the hardware department, however. He won three championships as a player for the Yankees and was the 2006 NL Manager of the Year for Florida, reports the AP. More »

      Torre Steps Up to Plate as Little Resigns

      Joe Torre's in and Grady Little's out with the Dodgers, who have okayed terms with the ex-Yankee skipper and almost clinched a deal, the Los Angeles Times reports. Still at issue are Torre's coaching staff and player personnel input. Torre wants his own staff, with Don Mattingly, and is negotiating their salary budget. GM Ned Coletti may announce the deal later today. More »

      Torre May Go to Dodgers

      Joe Torre, who turned down a one-year deal to continue as Yankees coach two weeks ago, could be heading to Los Angeles. MLB.com is reporting that the Los Angeles Dodgers are seeking to dismiss Grady Little and hire Torre, although the Dodgers won't confirm the story. Last night Torre told David Letterman that "the Dodgers have a contract, I mean, a manager." More »

      Yanks Want Girardi to Succeed Torre

      The Yankees have picked a successor to Joe Torre's managerial throne: Joe Girardi, the former Marlins manager and Yankee coach who was a catcher on three New York title teams in the '90s and worked for them this year as a TV analyst. The New York Times reports that though fired in Florida, he was a popular candidate for other jobs, having been courted by the Nationals, Orioles, and Dodgers. More »

      Torre: That's 'An Insult'!

      An emotional Joe Torre called the Yankees' one-year, $5 million offer "an insult" today. Three million dollars in incentives didn't help, he said: “I’d been there 12 years and did not feel motivation was needed." The offer was still sizable, despite a $2.5 million pay cut—"nothing to sneeze at," he admitted—"but the fact that somebody is reducing your salary just tells me they are not satisfied." More »

      Francona: Torre Is a Gentleman

      After Joe Torre rejected the Yankees' offer of a $5 million one-year contract yesterday, supporters came out of the woodwork in the unlikeliest of places: the Red Sox dugout. Boston manager Terry Francona called Torre a "gentleman," and knuckleballer Tim Wakefield said he "hoped to be able to play for him at some point," reports the New York Times. More »

      Torre Done, Turns Down Yanks

      In a stunning move, Joe Torre ended his 12-year tenure today as New York Yankees manager—which included four World Series titles—by turning down a new contract that would have cut his salary to $5 million from the $7 million he made in 2007. The one-year offer for 2008 would have included as much as $3 million in playoff incentives. More »

      The Yankees brass continued their meetings today in Tampa but still have not made a decision on the fate of manager Joe Torre. GM Brian Cashman said that the club is taking their time with the decision on whether to bring Torre back out of respect for the man who brought New York four world championships, according to Newsday .

      George's Sons Take Over Yanks

      George Steinbrenner’s sons, Hank and Hal, are now calling the shots for the Yankees, the New York Post reported today. King George, 77, will still be in the picture and only "an office door away," but the brothers will have final say on all day-to-day baseball decisions. “There's always been a succession—and that's myself and my brother,” said Hank.

      Yankees closer Mariano Rivera expressed confusion and frustration at the team's apparent desire to release manager Joe Torre, who has led New York to the postseason in each of his twelve years helming the team. Rivera, who is a free agent this winter, hinted that a Torre-less dugout might make him less likely to return. More »

      Steinbrenner to Torre: Win or You're Fired

      Joe Torre is one loss away from unemployment. Last night George Steinbrenner told the Bergen County Record the skipper is finished in New York unless the Yankees rally to beat the Cleveland Indians. “He's the highest-paid manager in baseball, so I don't think we'd take him back if we don't win this series,” Steinbrenner said, in a vintage threat-filled rant.
