The Yankees will be the #1 Wild Card in the AL and will face the Twins or the Angels in the AL Wild Card Game at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees are better than both these teams, although anything can happen in a game. If all Girardi needs for him to keep his job is for the Yankees to advance to the ALDS, he is in good shape.
I’m surprised this is even a question right now. I would have figured Girardi’s job was safe even if the Yankees had an abysmal season. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for them, and they have really outperformed their expectations all season long.
