despite my general disdain for the yankees, i've always respected joe torre. maybe because of his days in the orange and blue, or maybe just because he's always seemed to be a class act in the dugout. i have no way of verifying this, but i'm willing to wager that torre's departure was a carefully negotiated dance by him and the team. by him turning down the contract offer, the team gets to save face by not firing him and actually offering him a high-dollar contract with great incentives, and by turning down that offer, he gets to save face by not resigning.
no one in the media seems to be offering this at all as a possible explanation. you heard it here first. (remember though, i'm also the budding online sports journalist that told you the yankees would trade a-rod for jason kendall)
