According to reports, Joe Torre has signed a 1-year deal with a club option for 2009.

This tells me two things:

1) Steinbrenner must really be bad. Reporters can't go to him anymore and trust anything he says.

2) There was nobody better to replace Torre. As a Yankee fan, I can live with him for another year, but if he doesn't get out of the 1st round again, he HAS to go.

Word of Torre saying no came at about 4pm eastern.

Previous to that, there were reports that Torre accepted a one-year deal.

They offered him $2.5 million less but with incentives. At 67 it is time to hang up the ... whatever managers hang up now days.
