Reports: Torre rips A-Rod, Cashman in book

“The Yankee Years,” former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre reportedly makes
a number of personal attacks against third baseman Alex Rodriguez and claims
that he was betrayed by general manager Brian Cashman.
According to numerous reports, Torre writes in the book that Rodriguez’s
teammates called him “A-Fraud” after the three-time MVP developed a
“Single White Female”-like obsession with Yankees captain Derek Jeter.
Torre also contends that Rodriguez asked for a personal clubhouse attendant
to run errands for him.
In the past, Torre, who became the Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager following
the 2007 season, defended Cashman.
In the book, however, Torre claims that Cashman never told the team’s brass
that the manager wanted a two-year contract and remained silent during
Torre’s final days as the Yankees’ skipper.
The 477-page tome also reveals that during spring training in 1999, team
doctors told owner George Steinbrenner that Torre had prostate cancer before
telling Torre himself.
According to the New York Daily News, Torre reiterates that Cashman did not
support him during a meeting with the Steinbrenners late in the 2007 season
to determine his future with the team.
Cashman, however, had publicly stated that he wanted Torre back as manager.
The Daily News reported that Torre is scheduled to make a book-signing
appearance at the Yogi Berra Museum in New Jersey on February 3 before
leaving for spring training with the Dodgers.
Torre’s acrimonious comments would seem to be an obvious indication that he
remains bitter over the manner in which he parted ways with the Yankees.
The second-winningest manager in Yankees franchise history and immensely
popular with the fans, Torre was considered a father figure in the dugout.
He won four World Series titles with the Yankees and guided the team to the
playoffs in all 12 of his seasons as manager.
However, New York’s nine-year run as American League East champions ended in
2007, when the Yankees made it into the playoffs as the wild card.
Following the 2007 campaign, Torre was only offered an incentive-laden one-year contract that included a 30-percent pay cut. He considered the offer “insulting” and turned it down.
Yankees president Randy Levine criticized Torre after most of the media
supported the popular former manager.
During the closing ceremonies for Yankee Stadium in October, Torre’s name
was not mentioned, another indication of the tension between the parties.
In his first season in Los Angles, Torre guided the Dodgers to the National
League West title, marking the 13th straight season in which he was in the
playoffs.
