Joe Torre, auteur

October 21, 2007

Don’t cry for Joe, Argentina. According to Rich Shapiro’s column in the Oct. 20, NY Daily News, the sky’s the limit for the ex-Yankee skipper:

He gets paid up to $100,000 for each speech he delivers, and he could land a big contract as a sports broadcaster. He also has penned two books. A third about the Yankees would command a large advance….

Matthew Lalin, executive vice-president of Steiner Sports, said Torre could make more than $2 million a year from speaking engagements and a book deal alone.

“He’s a treasure of New York,” Lalin said. “From a marketing standpoint, he could be right there with what the Yankees offered him -and with a lot less headaches.”
