Only scenario in which he doesn’t come back imo is if he asks for a much longer term contract (5) than Hal is willing to give him(3)

I think if the yankees had lost Game 3 there was really not much choice other than to fire there would have been a national media uproar for his firing. To think, we were probably one Judge home run robbing catch away from being swept by the Indians. And then Girardi would have been gone. |

Aroldis Chapman probably went back into the clubhouse and shot holes in the wall right after that catch...  |

I put this idea in another thread, but looking at the situation from an outside point of view, wouldn't Girardi be the perfect fit for the Nats now that they dumped Dusty Baker? I could see the Nats owners giving Girardi a blank check to join them- even though he probably comes back to the Yanks.

I'll go along with that. Usually, if someone makes a statement like "he'd be a perfect fit" there's "here's why" statement to back that up. I've become intrigued now and would like to know why, simply because I haven't the slightest idea why... |

I could see the Nats owners giving Girardi a blank check to join them- even though he probably comes back to the Yanks. You havent explained why Girardi would be a perfect fit. The last several managers of the Nats (Davey Johnson, Matt Williams and Dusty Baker) generally managed by a "go with your gut" style of managing- the exact opposite of Girardi's carefully managed style of going by The Binder. Remember that Girardi interviewed for the Nats job in 2007-2008 before he joined the Yanks- but pulled himself out of the running when some believe he was promised the Yanks job after Torre. Girardi has generally managed to get the most out of his teams, has managed the stars and their egos successfully, and unlike Johnson and Williams likely won't alienate his players (Baker was liked, but his decisions on who to play, failure to stick with a closer, and his tendency to burn out his pitchers by the end of the season didn't help). Girardi has also demonstrated that he isn't afraid to lean on players when they need it (though he does favor vets over young players- but that really isn't an issue with the Nats). The Nats are a team in desperate need of a change in the culture to get over the hump. When you have Harper, Scherzer, Strasburg, Murphy, Rendon, Zimmerman and (next year) Eaton as the core of your team, you should really go farther in the playoffs than they have managed to date. Girardi's Binder-based decision making is probably what the Nats need- no more wondering what crazy idea the manager will come up with, more of a structured environment where he gives the vets direction and they know what to do day-to-day. I don't think Girardi leaves the Yanks for the Nats, but don't be surprised if the Nats don't make a strong push to talk to Girardi and try to pull him away. |

I really think this is Girardi's last season. I believe even if offered he won't return.

I can almost imagine the Harper headline: Harper to Girardi; "That binder is a clown book, bro"...

Still don't want Girardi back. Hopefully, he wants to spend more time with his family.

I desperately want Girardi back. Everyone that hates Girardi is a monday morning QB. He's one of the best managers in baseball and he got this team to overachieve by quite a bit. I'm going to be very upset if Girardi doesn't return next season.
