More on Torre’s book

I spoke today with a source close to Joe Torre, who said the book was an “honest” account of what transpired in New York. But the source basically echoed what Tom Verducci said in his SI.com interview, that it isn’t nearly as much of a hit job on the Yankees as it is being made out to be in the New York tabloids. I also heard from TWO sources today, both of them close to Torre, that almost everyone who appears in the book was contacted by either Torre or Verducci to give them a heads-up on what was written about them, and that none of those people took exception to any of it.
