Joe Girardi will leave the New York Yankees after 10 seasons as manager, ESPN reports.
In his time helming the team, Girardi won a World Series and made it to the playoffs half a dozen times, including advancing to this year's American League Championship Series, which the Yankees lost in seven games to the Houston Astros. Girardi had just reached the end of a four-year $16-million contract; he told WFAN Radio on Thursday that "with a heavy heart, I come to you because the Yankees have decided not to bring me back."
