While former San Diego general manager Kevin Towers is expected to work for the Yankees in the year ahead, he will not be given a formal title; rather, he will be utilized as a consultant. The title matters, because Towers is being paid by the Padres for the next year, and if the Yankees were to give him some bells-and-whistles title, they would be more at risk to have to pay him out of their own pocketThose cost cutting Yankees just keep on keepin' on. Oh well, whatever works.
