Marc S.Torre's offer for 2008 was on the order of $30,000 PER GAME, a salary that exceeds that of the average player by more than 150%. He hasn't taken the highest-paid team (by a lot) in baseball to a World Series victory in seven seasons.
I firmly believe that the Yankees were being generous in their offer to Torre, and think they should have instead not offered him anything...looking to find a new way to make the organization actually win when it counts.
