In a book that is due out February 3rd, Joe Torre rips Brian Cashman, George Steinbrenner and Alex Rodriguez.  Or at least, that is what the media is currently reporting.  The book however, is not a first person narative from Torre, instead it is a 3rd person account from Sports Issulstrated writer Tom Verducci.  The book is also not just an account from interviews from Torre, but also with other Yankees employees and other players.  So in other words, this isn’t all coming from Torre’s mouth.  Other players and individuals may have contributed to this.

Brian Cashman had this to say “I woke up today and saw the newspapers and I was surprised. My first reaction is to wait to hear or see what’s in the book. I’m glad Joe gave me a call from Hawaii. It certainly made me feel better about what I was reading today.”

The most interesting part of the book appears to be a section which discusses A Rod’s role and effect on the Yankees team.  It is also noted that Rodriguez was called “A Fraud” by his teammates, and that he was obsessed with Derek Jeter.

Once the book comes out, I’ll try to purchase it and give a report.

That’s my 2 cents.. I’d love to hear yours!
