During a lengthy interview with Ken Rosenthal, Joe Girardi admitted that he wasn't expecting to be let go by the New York Yankees after guiding them to Game 7 of the ALCS.
"I was surprised," Girardi admitted. "With the year that we had and the progress the team had made, I thought I would be back. Obviously, there is a ton of talent there, a ton of great young talent. I was excited about that. I thought I'd be back."
He went 910-710 in ten seasons with the Yankees, winning three division titles and one World Series.
