Joe Girardi just completed his 10th season as Yankees manager. By any measure, New York's 2017 campaign was a resounding success. Still, the organization let him go following the team's Game Seven loss in the American League Championship Series.
The Bronx Bombers finished 91-71, two games behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East. The Yankees earned the league's top Wild Card berth. Overall, they finished with the eighth best record in baseball.
Statistically, New York fared better. The Yankees' 100 Pythagorean wins were third behind the Dodgers (102) and Indians (108).
