Reggie Jackson’s tumultuous encounters in the clubhouse. Joe Torre’s strained relationship with the front office. Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez holding slumber parties and giggling. Historically, the New York Yankees may have generated more gossip than the rest of the baseball world put together, but the party might be over.

Amid the fallout from Joe Torre and Tom Verducci’s book, “The Yankee Years,” the New York Yankees are considering requiring players and managers to sign “non-disparagement clauses” as part of future contracts, Newsday reports.

The “non-disparagement clause” would be intended to ensure any future books about the team are “positive in tone,” and “do not breach the sanctity of the clubhouse,” the source said.

How this would have helped the Joe Torre situation is beyond me. Since he’s left the team, it seems to me that the only course of punitive action the Yankees could have taken would be to file some sort of civil lawsuit, but they would have to be prepared to recoup more money than Torre would bring in via his book sales. Besides, if bad publicity is what they’re worried about, do they really think that an attempt to silence the kvetching of former personnel, an attempt that would certainly fail, wouldn’t generate more bad publicity?

Whatever. I guess we should look for Alex Rodriguez’s book, “Stuff About the Yankees,” in stores soon. It will be one page long.
