Given that his Plan B and sole source of leverage went poof, a deal with Girardi seems imminent:
The deal is expected to be for about $3 million per year for three years. Girardi’s first contract is up; he earned about $7.5 million for the past three years.
Negotiatons shouldn’t take very long, according to the report.
Gee, I can’t imagine why the negotiations would take very long. I can see Girardi’s agent leaning over to Joe, saying: “Pssst, Joe. Take the friggin’ deal. Now. Just sign it.”
Nah, I like Girardi on the whole, I just hope he learned something from the ALCS. I'm more or less ambivalent on who the manager is, so long as it's not someone awful. Outside of the awful ones, there's not a whole lot of differentiation between them.
I don't care if he goes or stays now, and i know thats because they lost. but he couple points in the playoffs where just puzzling to me. I am used to joe though I'm not gonna be mad if he comes back but I won't be sad if he leaves either….then again who would step in?
Why does Girardi look like a giant in the picture next to Cashman?
Because Joe is an athlete. C'mon – even point guards are huge; just imagine CC instead of Girardi.
The irony is that of the 3 years Girardi has managed here… he probably did the WORST job last season, the championship season.
I really don't have any problems with what Girardi did in 2008 or this year… (but maybe that is partly because I don't have high standards for him)… but last year he really could have torpedo's the team's title chances. Fortunately the team was just too stacked for Girardi to screw it up.
A manager is always an easy target when a team loses….
