Joe Girardi has accepted a 3-year, $7.5 million deal become the Yankees manager, sources told The Post this morning.
After a late dalliance Monday with the Dodgers that led to nothing, Girardi will succeed Joe Torre with an announcement scheduled for today.
It was not clear which side initiated contact between the Dodgers and Girardi yesterday, but at 5:30 last night the Yankees knew Girardi was talking to the NL club. However, by nightfall the Yankees were sure Girardi would accept the job today since he requested which coaches from Torre's staff he wanted to remain.
The three-year, $7.5 million deal is the same offer Girardi was getting from the Dodgers, according to an industry source familiar with the negotiations.
Knowing that Torre is the Dodgers' leading candidate to take over for Grady Little, something that could happen quickly since the Dodgers are working on a buyout with Little, the Yankees and Girardi moved swiftly to keep hitting coach Kevin Long, who is expected to sign a rare three-year deal for close to $1 million. The Yankees are also keen on retaining field coordinator Rob Thomson as Girardi's third base or bench coach. Tony Pena, who interviewed for the job Girardi was offered yesterday, also will remain.

Didn’t the Dodgers just extend Grady F Little’s contract recently?

My “Gints” played rather sloppily against the worst team in the NFL. Of course, they were suffering from jet lag.

Based upon the following from the article it appears that it wasn’t currently expiring whether by extension or term left I don’t know....

Beating Miami by such a small margin is like almost losing a fist fight with Mr. Rogers.
