Newly minted Phillies manager Joe Girardi appears tired of hearing the criticisms of how he manages young players.
It was the main reason he was let go by the Yankees after winning 91 games and reaching Game 7 of the ALCS with a club filled with young stars in 2017, and it was brought up again Monday during his introductory news conference as Phillies manager at Citizens Bank Park.
Girardi, who signed a three-year contract with a club option for 2023 from the Phillies, said he loves working with young players.
“I went through that with the Marlins and went through that with the Yankees,” the 55-year-old Girardi told reporters.
