http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-spyanks164472503oct16,0,6707806.story?coll=ny-yankees-print Matsui's going to bat for Torre BY JIM BAUMBACH STAFF WRITER; Staff writer Ken Davidoff contributed to this notebook. October 16, 2005 Hideki Matsui has spent the last week in his Manhattan apartment, waiting like everyone else for Joe Torre to speak publicly for the first time since the Yankees were eliminated from the postseason Monday. Matsui, however, has a vested interest in what Torre says. The leftfielder told the Japanese publication Sankei Sports last week that Torre's future with the Yankees will play a role in whether he decides to re-sign with the club or head elsewhere. "I want Joe to stay as Yankees manager," Matsui said. "I respect him not only as the manager but also as a human being. I feel very comfortable playing baseball under Joe. "Yes, it will be one of the factors when I think about my new contract," Matsui added. "Of course, it is important who the manager is." After a week of silence, Torre is expected to hold his year-end news conference this week, and he has said he will address his rocky relationship with George Steinbrenner. Torre is due $13.1 million over the next two years, making it highly unlikely that either the Yankees fire him or he chooses to walk away. But it's clear that Matsui is looking for stability at the top before he decides what he wants to do. The Yankees, meanwhile, have decided they will start the negotiations by offering Matsui $31.5 million over three years, which also was first reported by Sankei Sports. But Matsui, who is coming off a three-year, $21-million deal, is believed to want a deal similar to the five-year, $55-million contract the Dodgers gave J.D. Drew last year. Matsui is expected to be at the Stadium this week to clean out his locker. He's batted .297 and averaged 23 homers and 110 RBIs in his three years with the Yankees. ---- 今天太累懶得翻了 不過...重點是 馬祖以桑告訴日本記者 Torre是否擔任教練是他跟洋基續約考慮的因素之一 嗯...蠻有情有義的 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.229.99.105
