Torre will continue as Yanks manager
Steinbrenner informs skipper he'll return for 2007

By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com

NEW YORK -- Joe Torre will continue to be manager of the New York Yankees.
"I just got off the phone with George Steinbrenner and he told me I'll be the
manager next year," Torre said Tuesday during a gathering with reporters at
Yankee Stadium.

Thus apparently ends three days of speculation about the future of Torre, who
has managed the Yankees to four World Series titles and six American League
pennants in 11 seasons.

"I'm very excited about it," Torre said. "This has been the best job of my
life."

It appeared that Torre might take the fall for a second consecutive early
exit from the playoffs, which occcurred when the Yankees were beaten three
games to one by the Detroit Tigers in the Division Series.

Steinbrenner, the Yankees' principal owner, spent the past two days in a
Manhattan hotel, listening to several of his baseball people weigh in on
Torre's future.

General manager Brian Cashman, who has not commented publicly since Saturday
night, is believed to have lobbied on Torre's behalf, and the New York Daily
News reported Tuesday that captain Derek Jeter is believed to have called
Steinbrenner to support Torre as well. The New York Post reported that Torre
and Steinbrenner may have spoken on Monday, too.

"I haven't made up my mind yet," Steinbrenner told reporters on Monday as he
departed his hotel and headed back to Tampa.

The Daily News also reported Tuesday that Steinbrenner's son-in-law, Steve
Swindal, who is a Yankees general partner and Steinbrenner's appointed
successor, is expected to arrive in New York on Tuesday to begin
brainstorming with team officials about changes that need to be made this
winter.
