"Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - New York Yankees manager Joe Torre reportedly will be fired if his team does not rally to beat the Cleveland Indians in the American League Division Series.
"His job is on the line," Yankees owner George Steinbrenner told the Bergen Record in a phone interview. "I think we're paying him a lot of money. He's the highest-paid manager in baseball, so I don't think we'd take him back if we don't win this series."
Torre is in the final year of a contract worth $7 million per year. He has led the Yankees to four World Series titles and 12 consecutive playoff appearances.
But, the Yankees have played poorly in the ALDS and are on the verge of elimination in the first round for the third consecutive year"
