If Torre had stayed with the team the Yankees might have made the playoffs this year, but I still think it was the best move for the Yankees to let Torre walk and honestly it was probably best for Torre's legacy that he leave too.
The Yanks needed to move in a different direction and Torre was part of the old dynasty years. Now he moved on to the Dodgers and has made the playoffs with a rag tag team of young players and veterans. It is his 13th consecutive season in the playoffs and the first time in 14 years the Yanks haven't. That is what how he will be remembered.
Time will tell if Cashman was right. But it was inevitable that the Yankees would need to make a change at manager and it would probably have been better if they did it sooner.
Good luck to the Dodgers, though, I would prefer to see Manny fail.
