Girardi signs four-year extension with Yankees

Manager will enter seventh season at helm with best record in
Majors since 2008
NEW YORK -- The Yankees checked off their first item of offseason
business Wednesday, agreeing to terms with Joe Girardi on a four-
year contract extension that projects to keep the manager in the
dugout through the 2017 season.
Girardi, who turns 49 this month, will reportedly earn $16 million
over the deal, making him baseball's second-highest paid manager
behind the Angels' Mike Scioscia. Girardi expressed confidence
that he would be able to pilot the Yankees to a 28th World Series
championship over the life of the contract.
"Absolutely. I wouldn't have come back if I didn't think we could
win a championship," Girardi said. "I know there's a lot of work
to be done. I know there's a lot of holes that we have to fill,
and there's people leaving and people retiring, but I have faith
in our organization."
Girardi piloted the Yankees to an 85-77 record this year, the
third-best record in the American League East. Over six seasons at
the helm of the club, Girardi has guided New York to the 2009
World Series championship and a 564-408 record, the best record of
any Major League manager over that span.
"It's great to have him back," Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira
said on MLB Network. "We need to have that stability, especially
in New York. He does a great job with the media, does a great job
with everything that goes on around the team. We needed to have
him back."
Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner and general
manager Brian Cashman both offered Girardi strong votes of
confidence for his performance this season, keeping an injury-
depleted club alive in the postseason chase until the middle of
September.
Steinbrenner and Cashman both said it was a top priority to re-
sign Girardi, who previously earned $3 million per season over a
three-year deal. Girardi said he and his agent, Steve Mandell,
requested the fourth-year commitment.
"That was something that we brought up to them," Girardi said.
"It's more stability for all of us involved in my household. It
was something that we threw out at them, and they were OK with it.
It's good for both of us."
The Cubs and the Nationals were among the organizations thought to
have interest in Girardi for their managerial vacancies, but the
Yankees did not grant permission for any club to speak with
Girardi, who was under contract through Oct. 31.
Girardi said his family played an important role in his decision.
After the conclusion of the regular season, Girardi gathered his
wife and three children to evaluate their potential options.
The Cubs opening was a topic of discussion, and Girardi said
Chicago would "always be special to me" after growing up cheering
for the Cubs before playing for the club. But he also pondered a
return to broadcasting, which offered a much lighter travel
schedule than a big league managerial job.
"There were some things that I wanted to make sure, in my home,
that people were OK with what I was still doing and that they
loved what I did," Girardi said.
In the end, the consensus was that Girardi's family wanted him to
continue as the manager of the Yankees.
"It's a special place to manage because of the opportunity that
you have every year and the tools that they give you," Girardi
said. "The history of this organization is unbelievable.
"Just to be able to put on the pinstripes as a coach, a player, a
manager, whoever you are, I think it's special because of what New
York has meant to Major League Baseball and what it's meant to all
of us."
The biggest challenges of Girardi's managerial tenure may be
ahead. The Yankees are in a transitional phase, as the "Core
Four" has been reduced to just one -- team captain Derek Jeter,
the last man standing after the retirements of Mariano Rivera and
Andy Pettitte. (Jorge Posada retired two years ago).
Over the course of Girardi's contract, he will have to handle the
final years of Jeter's career as well as the ongoing situation
with Alex Rodriguez, who may miss the 2014 season and is under
contract through 2017.
Outside of CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova, Girardi's rotation is a
question mark at this time. His lineup outlook is also cloudy, and
Steinbrenner has made little secret of his desire to reduce
payroll below $189 million next season to take advantage of luxury
tax incentives.
"That doesn't scare me," Girardi said. "That's part of the game,
and that's part of the challenge. As a competitor, I like
challenges, so I look forward to them."
The National League Manager of the Year as a rookie skipper with
the Marlins in 2006, Girardi recorded his 500th win as Yankees
manager May 10, in his 844th game managing the team.
That made him the fifth-fastest manager in club history to reach
that number, behind Casey Stengel (790 games), Joe McCarthy (796
games), Joe Torre (833 games) and Miller Huggins (833 games).
Girardi said he was pleased by the show of support indicated by
the new contract, which would give him a full decade as the
Yankees' manager if he is able to complete the entire deal.
"For a manager or coach of a professional team to have an
opportunity to spend 10 years in one city and watch your family
grow up, it doesn't happen a lot," Girardi said. "I feel very
flattered and grateful that I have this opportunity, and I really
look forward to it."
