Jon Heyman of SI.com reports the Yankees have offered their managerial job to Joe Girardi.
As reported here yesterday, it is believed the Yankees are offering Girardi a three-year contract for about $6 million to take over for Joe Torre, whose contract expired this season after three straight first-round losses in the playoffs.
It would be difficult to imagine Girardi turning down this job. It seemed like one of the reasons he sat this year out was to see whether he might be able to land a marquee job like this one. The Dodgers would also fit that criteria, but speculation of Girardi landing that job is just that right now. Even with the ridiculous expectations, he will be hard-pressed to find a team with more talent.
