Joe Girardi doesn’t want to manage the Cincinnati Reds

The idea that Joe Girardi would want to manage the Cincinnati Reds at this juncture was always a curious one. Girardi, with 10 winning seasons at the helm of the New York Yankees and a World Series title under his belt, easily has the most pedigree of any potential managerial candidate on the baseball landscape right now, meaning he’s got more options than any up and coming candidate - and leverage, too. Heck, he just sat out the 2018 season because he was in no hurry to jump at the first real opportunity to manage again, likely to gauge his options and wait until a plum job came calling.
