He's not retiring, he's just not taking the Yankees job. And who can blame him? With the way Steinbrenner publicly disrespected him, and then offered him a 1 year contract? That's almost like saying again, "Win a championship or you're out, and I'll be breathing down your neck all year."
Bobby Cox is only going to manage one more year, and then I bet they'll offer the job to Torre since he's got a history with the Braves organization anyway (pre-Atlanta).
