Yes, its another classic from George King.  This does though bring up a pretty interesting point for many of us that want Torre gone.  There maybe a chance these players will not come back if Torre isn't here.

The man in the manager's office will have a huge impact on what the Yankees' 2008 roster will look like.

While the Yankees are involved in two races - the AL East and wild card - there is no avoiding what looms beyond this season. Joe Torre is doing a wonderful job as a lame-duck manager, and his future will have an impact on what free agents Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens will do following the World Series. Since Alex Rodriguez doesn't have the history the others do with Torre, the manager's future doesn't expect to play a role in Rodriguez' decision to opt out and become a free agent or stay.

However, it will impact what Posada does.

"I don't see myself playing for anybody else," the All-Star told The Post.

So, if Torre leaves, does that mean Posada goes, too?

"Let's see who is coming in," the catcher said.

GM Brian Cashman's stance since the start of spring training is that the focus is on 2007. That meant Torre, Rivera and Posada have to wait until after the season to see where they fit. The same went for Rodriguez, but at the All-Star break word leaked out the Yankees were willing to talk about an extension with the MVP candidate, but he shut that down quickly.
