Joe Girardi, the sixth-winningest manager in New York Yankees history, will not be back for an eleventh campaign. “With a heavy heart,” the 53-year-old former catcher said in a statement, “I come to you because the Yankees have decided not to bring me back.” A club statement confirmed that decision. Girardi-led teams never finished below .500 and won one World Series and made six postseason appearances. His overall record at the team’s helm was 910-710. The Yankees came within one win of advancing to this year’s World Series.
