George was the one that cared about winning at any expense and Yankee tradition. Randy Levine and Lonn Trust don't give a shit about fans or players, just dollar signs. Cashman, I'm 50/50 on. I don't like the way he handles a lot of things, but he could be much worse.

Cashman is bitter about over paying Jorge for too many years, because he became a free agent after a really good year, with no other options out there.

They are all bitter about Jeter, because he is bigger than the team in the eyes of Yankee fans. He holds more power than they do, because with George gone, Jeter IS the Yankees.

Bernie...Bernie was treated like shit when he was young with the team. I think they made him go to arbitration every year, and denigrated him in the process. So when Bernie got free agency and made the Yanks over pay to keep him from the Red Sox, it went up their noses.

Andy Pettite was treated worse than all of them. George was always trying to trade the guy (to the Phillies for Schilling comes to mind), even though all he did was win and come up big in the biggest games. Pettite is my overall favorite Yankee of the recent era. Everybody talk about his high ERA, but pitching in the AL East is a different level than any other division.

Mo they are scared of, because he hasn't taken a step back, he is irreplaceable, and he won't have any problem walking away the moment god tells him its time. If they bad mouthed him tomorrow, he might leave the team by Monday morning.
