Torre's eventual exit.
As a fan of the MFY's biggest rival, I'd be somewhat tickled to see Joe Torre leave, for competitive reasons only.
Keep in mind, Torre isn't likely to ever leave on his own terms, the MFY job doesn't work that way. Steinbrenner has been down this road so many times, it's simply how the guy operates. He wants to be significant perhaps.
I'm sure cooler heads will again win out - Cashman talked the Boss out of terminating Torre last year, and I'd like to believe it will happen again.
They have some youth coming up, they're by no means a rebuilding team, and they have oodles of dough. They'll be fine, and I can't imagine any manager doing a better job than Joe and his exemplary staff.
The best thing they could do is let MeRod leave. He's not cut out for NY, I think that point has been made very clear.
If Torre and Posada leave, they're going to need some miracles.
