Former Cubs catcher Joe Girardi is among at least three candidates scheduled to interview next week for the Cubs’ managerial vacancy.
Whether that moves him to the front of the list among qualified candidates, he’s certainly the most experienced — the only known candidate at this point with any big-league managing experience.
Girardi, the former Northwestern star, was a 2006 Manager of the Year with the Marlins who later managed the Yankees for 10 seasons, winning the 2009 World Series in his second season in New York.
“When you look at managing in Major League Baseball, there are only so many jobs,” Girardi said when asked about the Cubs job during an interview Wednesday on 670-AM.
