New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, while saying he has not made up his mind on a managerial change, feels he may have made a mistake by hiring Lou Piniella for the job last year.
“I’ve done everything for this guy. I gave him a chance to manage the New York Yankees without going to the minors. In retrospect, maybe that was a mistake,” Steinbrenner said.
Piniella’s first year as manager ended with the Yankees at 90-72 and in second place in the AL East, five games behind Boston. He signed a two-year contract extension last October for $250,000 a year.
