It was another front office shakeup from a team that has symbolized chaos for nearly two decades.

Who's in charge here, anyway?

Certainly not George Bradley, the former Yankees vice president of baseball operations who announced he would leave the club.

In a statement issued by the Yankees, Bradley, a native of Giles County, Va., and the club "mutually agreed to end their working relationship effective immediately."

With Bradley's firing, general manager Gene Michael assumed control of the team.

\ Her lawyer says Esther Canseco still loves her husband, Jose, but has counterfiled for divorce in California, where the couple would be Mr. and Mrs. 50-50.

Esther Canseco filed her petition one day after seeking to stop her husband's divorce action in Florida. Unlike community property states such as California, Florida does not require an equal division of a couple's belongings, her lawyer said.

"She still loves him very much," said attorney Frank Quintero of Miami.

Despite the dueling divorce suits, the two are still living together in their Coral Gables, Fla., home.

Canseco, 26, filed for divorce in Miami on Jan. 16, saying his marriage with the former Miss Miami was "irrevocably broken."
