It’s been a long time since the Yankees have “fired” a manager. Technically, both Joe Girardi and Joe Torre’s tenures in the Bronx came to an end after their contracts expired. Particularly in Girardi’s case, the Yankees seemingly made a conscious choice to move on, but it still wasn’t officially a firing.
In order to find their most recent mid-season managerial change, you have to go a long way back. The last time the Yankees had more than one official manager in a season was 1990, back when George Steinbrenner was still in his peak George Steinbrenner-ness.
