Last week, the Cubs declined to renew Dusty Baker's contract. Other baseball managers who lost their jobs included Felipe Alou in San Francisco, Joe Girardi with the Florida Marlins and Buck Showalter with Texas. Could Yankee manager Joe Torre be next?
Fox Sports writer Ken Rosenthal suggested during Saturday night's telecast that if the Yankees lost the series against Detroit that Torre may lose his job. After last night's loss to the Tigers, which eliminated them from the playoffs, the Yankees are now left pondering the future of their team. The latest report from Fox Sports is that Torre will be fired this week and Lou Piniella will be hired as the new Yankee manager.
It must be tough to play in New York. With the highest payroll in baseball, somewhere around $200 million, anything less than a World Series title isn't good enough. Being from Chicago, I have a hard time don't feeling sorry for this team.
If Joe Torre does become available, I wonder if the Cubs would consider him as manager.
