Joe Girardi is, by practically every stretch of the imagination, a Yankee. An aggressively strategic baseball mind and a ruthlessly competitive former ballplayer, Girardi was a very successful manager in the New York Yankees organization.
Managing the team from 2008 to 2017, Girardi is fifth all-time among Yankee managers with 910 wins, fifth in games managed and fourth in playoff wins. With an extensive list that includes Casey Stengel and Joe Torre, Girardi’s resume as a manager is impressive, to say the least.
Still, one could find multiple reasons as to why Girardi would not be a good fit to manage the soon-to-be improved Toronto Blue Jays.
