This was 100-percent George Steinbrenner¹s decision,² Cashman said after Torre was brought back this week. With a lot more input than in the past. That input will continue this offseason, when the Yankees will entertain offers for Alex Rodriguez and attempt to upgrade their pitching. As for dealing A-Rod, it¹s 50/50 at this point. First, they would have to get an offer that would deliver high-end pitching that is under financial control or eventual replacements for Mariano Rivera and/or Jorge Posada. Then, they would need a third baseman who wouldn¹t have to hit 35 homers and

drive in 120 runs but would have to contribute. Then A-Rod, who has insisted repeatedly he won¹t waive his no-trade clause, would have to give his blessings to the deal.
