Question

Will joe girardi or brian cashman be fired at seasons end if the yankees don't make the playoffs

Answer 1

Girardi might, but not Cashman.

Answer 2

I dont think that Girardi will be fired but Cashman's contract expires and he may not come back! The only thing is that they expressed interest in re-signing him. I dont blame either of them, personally.

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

No, but I want Girardi gone ASAP. He's blown 12-15 games alone with his managerial idiocy, and he's proven that we made a big mistake letting Torre walk out the door.

Answer 5

neither. girardi won't be fired, and cashman will likely have his contract renewed. I would like to see cashman fired, but that doesn't seem likely to happen

Answer 6

Girardi: No. He just came on board and George Steinbrenner isn't in control of the team anymore and the itchy trigger finger is no longer there. It would be a bad PR move to hire a new manager now, especially after the way Joe Torre was put out last year.

Cashman: There's a chance because he gambled to get Nady, Marte and Pudge Rodriguez and so far they aren't as close to a playoff spot as they should be. He would be the guy to go since someone's going to have to answer for it. Thing is, Cashman is a lot better of a GM than most people give him credit for because he's the Yankees' GM. He's the biggest name that could go outside of Girardi.

The Yankees may not say this publicly, but most media outlets heard from insiders this was not a championship chase team to start the year. I didn't pick them to win it, though I did say they'd make the playoffs. I think it's hard to blame Cashman. He didn't know that Posada, Wang, Kennedy, Hughes, and Chamberlain would all get hurt and miss significant time.
