Why did joe torre choose the dogders over the yanks last year?

Question

ive always been wondering why b/c even though he was upset about the yanks not giving him that much money, the dodgers did offer almost the same amount

Answer 1

The Yankees stink!!! Plus he might not want to have to live in NYC.  

Answer 2

He said the contract they offered him was like a slap in the face. It was something like a one year deal and it was all incentive based.

BTW, Giants Fan, he's from Brooklyn. He was NY Giants fan!

Answer 3

Stress and the endless pressure to win.

He was offered more to stay in New York and turned it down.

What good is it being a manager if you can't enjoy your job some?

Answer 4

the yanks gave him a slap on the face when he asked to renew his contract and they gave him some sh*tty amount of money for all the hard work he's done for the team. Yanks are all about money, there a business not a baseball team! they forgot that baseball is Americas past time, not Americas Business or Stock Exchange.  

Answer 5

They Yankees offered him a contract "that was like a slap in the face" they didnt want him & they showed it by what they offered him!

Answer 6

It wasn't joe torre who decided that Joe torre was going to leave.

The asinine yankees organization implied very strongly that they did not want him back by offering a joke of a contract.

So he packed his bags and left

Answer 7

i read that he wanted something new

Answer 8

maybe he just want a little change

Answer 9

He didn't choose LA over the Yanks, the Yanks fired him last year and he went to LA.

Answer 10

The Yankees did not want him

and Torre is from LA, so It made sence
