Hand Mariano Rivera a blank check. Let him fill in the value. Pay him.
Joe: Get on the Bernie situation. Don't call him - call his agent, go to his house, set up a personal meeting. This stuff is going to destroy your clubhouse chemistry to start the season. If a guy like Mariano speaks out...who never does...you're in serious trouble.
Torre will close out his Yankees career this year. If he wins the World Series, it will be a triumph, and he'll retire. If not, he may just retire anyways. Either way, when you've got the NL Manager of the Year in your broadcast booth, Don Mattingly as your bench coach, Tony Pena at 1B coach, and Larry Bowa as 3B coach, the Yankees are not short on quality coaching talent.
