Yanks To Pay Miller Through 2009?
Jon Heyman offers the "Inside story to why Yankees fitness coach had to go" -
Cashman has accepted the hit for hiring Miller, and it's a big one from Steinbrenner, who has always taken a special interest in conditioning and working out. Miller got a three-year contract, according to sources, that barely lasted more than three months.
In another interesting twist, Miller's name was originally given to Cashman by the folks who are operating the Yankees' new money-making venture "24 Hour Fitness," a health chain that's set to open Yankee-themed clubs in 2008. The chain has a 10-year deal with the club and trumpets its Yankees affiliation. The folks at 24-Hour Fitness also helped set up the new Yankees weight room, which Yankees players are also panning. The Yankees say many of the free weights were removed and replaced by too many of the same machines, as well as TV sets and empty space.
Miller had a three year contract? What's next..we find out that he was taking naps under his desk too?
