Former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre rips general manager Brian Cashman and third baseman Alex Rodriguez in an upcoming book, the New York Daily News and New York Post reported Sunday.
In the book "The Yankee Years," Torre says Cashman "betrayed him on several fronts," the Daily News reported, while Rodriguez was called "A-Fraud" by teammates, the New York Post reported.
The 477-page book is written by longtime Sports Illustrated reporter Tom Verducci and recounts Torre's Yankees career through interviews, the Post reported.

Torre left the Yankees after leading the team to four World Series crowns and signed a three-year, $13 million deal to manage the Los Angeles Dodgers in November 2007.
Torre has said in the past that Cashman support him in negotiations with Steinbrenner, although Torre was unhappy with the Yankees' final offer, a one-year deal which included incentives and a paycut from $7 million to $5 million.
Cashman said he never brought up Torre's request for a two-year contract, the book says.
Cashman declined comment on the book, ESPN reported, saying he didn't know the context of the comments.
