UPDATE: The Phillies just fired Joe Girardi. That’s why they call this business the first draft of history.
Everyone on Joe Girardi Watch may be waiting for a while.
The Phillies are a complete disaster. All the conditions for an in-season firing are there. But The Post’s Jon Heyman says the industry expectation is Girardi will not get sacked anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean he necessarily has job security.
Heyman reports:
Most would be surprised if baseball president Dave Dombrowski were to fire Girardi this early, but the conventional wisdom is he needs to get to the playoffs or at least rally significantly to have a chance of his option being picked up at year’s end after the team deferred that very decision this spring.
