David Wells Slams 'Coward' Joe Torre

'Coward' Joe Torre BLASTED By Former Player

TBS baseball analyst and former pitcher David Wells called out his former manager Joe Torre today for his comments about the New York Mets manager job. Wells made his remarks on the Yahoo Sports podcast "Why Is This News?"

"I don't like him at all. As a manager, I think he's terrible," Wells said. "He wasn't a fair manager. He didn't treat people the same. He definitely didn't treat me the same."

After saying he is "curious" about being the manager of the Mets next year on Monday, Torre apologized and said it wasn't his intention to make people believe he wanted to manage the Mets.

Wells recounted that when he was pitching for the Yankees, the team's pitching coach told him he was going to sit out in the first round of the playoffs.

"That's pretty degrading when you have your manager tell your pitching coach to tell you, 'Hey, you're going to sit out,' rather than telling you himself," Wells explained. "That's what Joe Torre is to me, a coward." For more from the podcast, click here.
