="metsmarathon"]such a classy organization, those yankees. ="espn"]The Yankees offered Torre a one-year deal with a base salary of $5 million and incentives that would have increased his salary to $8 million based on postseason performance. Under that offer, if Torre reached the World Series in 2008, an option for 2009 would have vested. "We felt we needed to go to a performance-based mode," team president Randy Levine said. "We thought it was very fair. It clearly was at the top of the market, but we respect Joe's decision." Yeah, no kidding. Because six league championships in twelve years sucks ass. Fuckin' great move by Torre. Love it. Anyone but Bobby V is good by me.
