It would be Joe's decision regardless. Fact is they want to curb spendings at 189 mil. Lost A-Rod, Mo. Are looking at Cano wanting 300 mil. Grandyman F/A. No farm. They are pretty screwed and the one thing they had was unlimited resource and that is not looking as a viable option. Ya Joe could take the gig but does he want it? This goes beyond his payday. It goes into that team is fucked up right now.

Meh, if that happens, just wait out October and pursue him November 1 while letting his agent know the Cubs will top whatever the Yankees offer him.

yeah.... I would rather take a chance on Brad Ausmus being the real deal. That guy was a warrior, a grinder, a scrapper. I believe he was hit more than any player in the modern era. He did whatever he had to to win, and as a lead off man, and a second batter guy, he knows all the intracasies of stealing and base running you could ever want. He was a pro's pro, like Girardi but maybe smarter and tougher. Ryan Sandberg made a tangible difference with the Phillies, and that is a black mark as far as I am concerned, AJ Hinch had better be the guy.
Why wasn't Terry Francona hired again? Fucking Epstein is looking like a moron to me, he better be this draft guru they talk about.

here how i look at this..
cashman has girardi to himself until oct. 31st to negotiate with him, but if girardi ends up talking with the cubs before then, it will only tell me that girard respectfully asked cashman to grant the cubs permission because he has high interest in coming here..
if the cubs get that opportunity, they better make sure he doesnt leave chicago without a deal in place..

I'm not sure you know who Brad Ausmus is at this point. I think you might be confusing him with Craig Biggio at this point. Ausmus was hit 69 times which is no where near the mark that Don Baylor set 267 times. Ausmus hit leadoff in 18 games and second 186 games which is no where near the amount he raked up hitting 7th (458) and 8th (1061). Biggio on the other hand did hit leadoff and second a lot in his career and he broke Don Baylor's HBP mark with 285. Though I was surprised to learn that Ausmus did manage to steal over a 100 bags in his 17 year career.

I've been digging around this AM, with no luck.
Does anyone happen to know the ages of his 3 children?...was hoping they are not still minors and in school etc.
If they are, I doubt he'll move the family.

What isn't fair about them negotiating exclusively with their own manager during their allotted exclusive negotiation period?

It was more of a joke and a unique heading. I even wrote in the article is's all business and the Yanks are doing anything to keep Girardi is NY.

LOL, about the only public personal info I can find on Girardi is that he's a devout Christian.
All I want to find out is if his kids are still living at home...to see what the Cubs chances are of convincing a relocation.
But apparently it's a secret on the internet.

Girardi via the Star Ledger: Our home has been here [in New York]. My kids are engrossed in schools here. I haven’t lived there [in Chicago] since 2006. I have a brother still there, a couple brothers there, actually. But my father’s gone. My mother’s gone. So there’s not as much there as there used to be.
