How did George lose his job with the Yankees?

[Paul Atreides]

I must keep missing this episode each time it comes up in the
rotation, because I never learn what causes George to leave the
Yankees. Steinbrenner's incompetence and George's willingness to
exploit that incompetence seem to be a perfect fit.

He was "traded" to Tyler Chicken in The Muffin Tops. :-)

George meets a beautiful NYC tourism bureau employee (played by the
"breathtaking" Rena Sofer), and claims he's a tourist from Arkansas in
order to spend time with her. He then recreates his life in the city,
telling her he found an apartment (the one he'd actually been living in)
and a job (his real job with the Yankees). When she visits him at work, she
congratulates Steinbrenner for taking a chance on a night hen inspector (or
something like that) from Tyler Chicken.

Steinbrenner misunderstands and thinks George is moonlighting in Arkansas,
so he contacts Tyler Chicken to work out an exclusive contract. In the
negotiations, George is traded to Tyler Chicken in return for chicken
products for the Yankee Stadium vendors.

Mike's site is down temporarily, but I believe the script from this episode
is there:
