In the wake of Joe Torre's new tell-all book about his years as manager of the Yankees, now the word is that the Yankees are considering putting a "non-disparagement" clause in future contracts for its players and coaches.
You might think a baseball team like the Yankees would be a pretty thick-skinned bunch—that is, considering how much animosity there already tends to be toward the team everyone loves to hate. But, apparently, Torre's book has pushed a few buttons that make even George Steinbrenner's blood pressure rise. So the answer the organization is said to be considering is a contract clause that would forbid the writing of any trash talk books.
