Recent firings show MLB’s cutthroat mentality
Many people will say that what one does in the regular season means nothing once the postseason comes around.
That has been the thought process of three playoff organizations in 2017. The Yankees, Red Sox and Nationals have all fired their managers after reaching the postseason this year. John Farrell of the Red Sox and Dusty Baker of the Nationals were let go after their teams fell in their respective league division series’, while Joe Girardi led his surprising Yankees team to Game 7 of the ALCS before falling to the Houston Astros.
