It has been reported that former New York Yankees coach and current Los Angeles Dodgers coach Joe Torre publishing a new book and in this book he blasts his former teamthe New York Yankees. He says teammates frequently called Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez "A-Fraud" among other things. He also says that Rodriguez was obsessed with his supposed rivalry with Yankees shortstop and team captain Derek Jeter. Torre's insight goes into the GM's office as well as Torre claims that Yankees GM Brian Cashman betrayed him many times. When I saw this I was shocked. This reminded me of the Dallas Cowboys not my New York Yankees. The Yankees are know as a team who buys many players and they are hated across the league but they don't really have many locker room issues outside of that on going Jeter & A-Rod fight going on. The New York media could have blown things out of proportion or got an incorrect source which is what I hope happened becuase if this is what happened then I would have lost much of the respect I had for Joe Torre. Torre has been my favorite coach as he led my Yankees to 5 World Series and 11 straight playoff apperances. But if this is true I have lost all respect for Torre. I understand that he could still be frustrated by the Yankees mistreating him at the end of his tenor their but to write a book and blast the team that took him in for most of his career is just ridiculous. When Torre's book comes out we will all see, but until then we can just wait and see all of the things Torre has said.
