TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Hank Steinbrenner wants Joe Girardi to remain with the New York Yankees and is awaiting the manager’s decision on a new contract.
Girardi’s current deal expires at the end of the month, and the team offered a new agreement last week.
The Yankees failed to make the playoffs for the second time in 19 years and finished with an 85-77 record, their poorest since 1992. All-Stars Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson missed much of the season.
