Joe Girardi worked as a broadcaster before his first managerial job with the Marlins. He then returned to television between stints with the Marlins and Yankees and then the Yankees and Phillies. And he is now headed back to TV after time off following his firing in Philadelphia.
Girardi has joined Marquee Sports Network as a Cubs analyst. He will debut this weekend when the Cubs host the Brewers.
The move makes sense on several levels. Girardi played for the Cubs, of course, and he is an Illinois native who attended Northwestern.
