Torre signs 19.2 million Yankees extension through 2007
Joe Torre and the New York Yankees agreed to a three year 19.2 million contract extension through 2007 after a tense season with George Steinbrenner. The deal came after Steinbrenner’s surprise office visit and a pointed question about Torre’s plans for next year. Washington proposes a 340 million Expos stadium with full public financing and RFK as a temporary home.
