Francona on Joe Torre

Boston manager Terry Francona delayed his entrance into his workout press conference so he could watch the opening the remarks made by Joe Torre, who opted not to accept the Yankees' contract offer and left the organization after serving as the team's manager for 12 years.

"It's almost like the Bronx is burning," said Francona. "I hope Joe is very content and happy moving forward because I feel like he was -- in this game organizations not only have the right they have a responsibility to do whatever they want with their teams. That's the way it goes. But to do it very publicly, which Joe had to endure, I think was dfifficult. I'm sure it was difficult and I feel for him."
