Joe Girardi will not be back as manager of the New York Yankees, sources told David Kaplan of ESPN 1000 in Chicago on Thursday.
Girardi just concluded a four-year, $16 million contract, and both he and the team agreed to part ways, sources told ESPN.
Girardi, 53, and the Yankees came within one game of going to the World Series this year, losing to the Houston Astros in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. In 10 years at the helm, Girardi won one World Series and made the playoffs six times.
