Girardi Gets the Nod

1050 ESPN New York's Andrew Marchand is reporting that Joe Girardi will become the next manager of the New York Yankees. Girardi's agent confirmed the offer, but did not say if his client would accept.

The Yankees are expected to announce Girardi as the new skipper on Tuesday. His contract is reportedly worth $6 million over three years.

Candidates Don Mattingly and Tony Pena were reportedly told by GM Brian Cashman that they will not be named manager. ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reports that Mattingly will not accept a role on the Yankee staff. Mattingly had been considered the favorite to replace Joe Torre after Torre's resignation last week.
