Yankees and Red Sox both make the playoffs, but they both look to replace their world series winning managers.  Some here will find that amusing

[m0nkey]

Shocking though.  Wonder if it was his decision

"Joe Girardi, come on down!"

Remember when the Red Sox let go of Francona and Epstein? Those clubs have too high of expectations and are too knee jerk. I think it hurts them in the long run sometimes.

Theo resigned to take a better job, as far as I know.

Regardless, I'll take knee jerk and 3 division titles, a penant, and a world series over "staying the course" and a 500 ball club.

What year did Theo manage?

Would expect Girardi to end up with the Nats...

Exactly what I was thinking.

This is a pretty odd decision. 

[Bruce Nye]

Jeter might step in with an offer to manage his Miami team.

semantics but technically you’re right.

He might -- but he's already been there and done that -- I don't think he wants to put himself into another situation where ownership is unwilling to spend..      There has been talk for months that Girardi might be stepping away.  He's been talking about having to discuss it with his family and that they would make the choice together..   I can see him wanting to take a year off and if he does, it does open the door for Eppy to try to get him to Anaheim.  

Whatever, this is the first time in a long time where Mike Scioscia actually should be worried about what he will be doing in a year...

Girardi signs four-year extension with Yankees

Girardi signs four-year extension with Yankees

By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com | October 9th, 2013

NEW YORK -- The Yankees checked off their first item of offseason business Wednesday, agreeing to terms with Joe Girardi on a four-year contract extension that projects to keep the manager in the dugout through the 2017 season.

 

 

MLB rumors: Will Yankees let Joe Girardi walk away over money?

"The Yankees managerial position now is an open question because Joe Girardi's contract is expiring right now." Olney said. "He's finishing up a four-year, $16M deal. He addressed his future with reporters after the Yankees were eliminated on Saturday. He seemed to indicate to reporters that, all things being equal, he would prefer to come back--but it's not all his decision."

The key to job security is to have a 10 year contract.  But even as that contract dwindles, the other key is to have some arm injuries.  Then, you don't have to take any responsibility for wins and losses.

 

[greginpsca]

Nats don't want to pay big bucks for a manager. Just ask Dusty and Bud Black. That said, i could see Girardi taking a job with the Angels as an "Advisor to the GM". {Cough, cough}

[Taylor]

If it wasn't his decision, a stupid, emotional, knee-jerk decision by the Yankees.

[Taylor]

Next year, if the Yankees and Red Sox make the playoffs, they'll replace their manager after every playoff loss.

Dumb move. The Astros clearly had a more talented, deeper team than the Yanks. If anything they greatly overachieved this year.

I thought he did a good job. I think he may have been undermined by some of his own players. I think he’ll get a new job very quickly. 

[Adam]

He's been nothing but successful as a big league manager
