Report: Hank Steinbrenner fires back at Torre
ESPN.com news services
The apple apparently doesn't fall far from the tree.
Hank Steinbrenner, who has begun to take control over the New York Yankees
with brother Hal from their fiery father George, shot back at former manager
Joe Torre's comment about the team's contract offer being an "insult."
"Where was Joe's career in '95 when my dad hired him?" Hank Steinbrenner told
The New York Post. "My dad was crucified for hiring him.
"Let's not forget what my dad did in giving him that opportunity -- and the
great team he was handed," Steinbrenner told the paper.
On Friday, Torre explained his reasoning for turning down the Yankees
contract offer. The deal called for a one-year contract that included
$3 million in incentives if the Yankees were to reach the 2008 World Series.
Plus, if New York advanced to the Fall Classic, a second year would be added
to the contract worth $8 million.
"I just felt the contract offer, the terms of the contract, were probably
the thing I had the toughest time with -- the one year for one thing,
the incentives for another thing," Torre said Friday. "I've been there 12
years and I didn't think motivation was needed."
"We knew exactly what was expected here," Torre added. "So, I just didn't
think it was the right thing for me, I just didn't think it was the right
thing for my players."
Hank Steinbrenner believed the Yankees' offer was fair and that Torre
needed to accept some of the blame for the team's zero championships s
ince 2000.
"You can't take credit for success when you're going good, and then not
take at least some of the blame when things change," Steinbrenner told
the paper. "I'm sorry he feels insulted, but that was not the intent."
Hank Steinbrenner said he was hoping Torre would agree to manage the Yankees
for a 13th season.
"I sincerely wanted Joe to accept that offer," said Steinbrenner. "We all
wanted him to accept it, probably me more than anybody else."
"You don't make an offer bluffing. What if he says yes?" he added. "I was
hoping he'd say yes."
