Since Joe Girardi’s out there and available now, the Washington Nationals should, of course, sign him... I mean, right? Except maybe not? The news on Thursday morning that Girardi would not return to New York after leading the Yankees to within one game of the World Series led to plenty of speculation yesterday that he might fit in the nation’s capital.
Thus far though, the Nationals’ brass hasn’t shown much interest in spending big on a manager, though there has been mutual respect and admiration on both sides at least according to the reporting years ago and what the now-former Yankees’ manager said during the Nats’ previous manager searches.
