Mets fan, coming late to this discussion, I see you have hit all the nails on the head.  Torre should be embarrassed, but I'm not holding my breath.

Although we are never privy to all that goes on in negotiations, I can't help but be "insulted" by Joe's feelings of the same to the Yankees offer. If he indeed desired to coach the Yankees, I feel that the offer was very good considering a few points for discussion:

1.] Before joining the Yankees, Joe was a sub-500 manager with at least a couple of teams{Mets, Cardinals and I'm not sure which other{s}

2.] The Yankees, year in and year out, spend the money to attempt to put an all-star at every position.

3.] The nature of this game in New York is to win championships{see all the fan apparel referencig rings}. The Yankees have not done so for seven years. If he was a part of the championships than he must be accountable for the non-championship years.

3.] It's still millions of dollars to coach baseball...!

4.] I am a Mets fan ;}
