The Yankees officially offered their managerial job to Joe Girardi on Monday morning and he is expected to accept it, a source has told 1050 ESPN New York's Andrew Marchand.
'The Yankees have offered Joe the opportunity to become their next manager. Discussions are ongoing.' Steve Mandell, Girardi's agent, said. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told Don Mattingly and Tony Pena that they will not be getting the job.
Girardi was in Denver for the World Series. A source said he is expected to fly to New York for the announcement, which is likely to come Tuesday. Girardi's contract is expected to be in the three-year, $6 million range.
Mattingly will not accept a position on the Yankees coaching staff, Marchand and ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney are reporting.
Girardi, a former Yankees player and coach, was voted NL Manager of the Year in 2006 after keeping Florida in contention until late in the season.
I'm very excited, no more A-Rod and I think Girardi is the best fit for manager now that Torre's gone.

He's defiantly a good 2nd choice to Torre. I can't complain to much, and I hope he has a great season!

I know can you believe A-rod.... he is not a clutch player, he does not perform well under pressure...He has an awful post season record and I am glad to see him go...(although he was some nice eye candy)

well the yankees said that if he did this then they wouldnt pursue him so him doing this kinda shows that he is looking for another offer...but you're right, he wasnt made another offer and not like he left YET...alot of ppl think he will either go to the cubs or angels

Yeah they said they would only give him upwards of 30 mil. and he was asking 38 mil. so I don't think he will stay with the yanks ... I think he will end up at the cubs, they defiantly can foot the bill.

Yeah. FH and his brother got into an discussion (argument) yesterday about A-Rod and the team. It was so funny. First they were saying how A-Rod was going to stay and wasn't and then it got into how he walked Rizutto daughter or whoever up to seats and then adjusted his cup. It was so funny. A-Rod has very mixed views on the Yankee fans and if he should stay or not.
