Eric Wedge will turn 50 in January and his 10 years as a big league manager have produced two winning seasons.
When words like "connectivity" and phrases like "communication level" get thrown around in the middle of the Yankees' managerial search, it's not hard to see that a new age has dawned.
The Yankees' search for their next manager is moving right along.
If the Yankees choose to go in-house for their next manager, the candidate with the most experience inside the organization is Rob Thomson, who interviewed for the job this week.
In their search for a new manager, the Yankees are reportedly interviewing Joe Girardi's former right-hand man.
Joe Girardi was in good spirits Monday as he discussed the Yankees' decision not to retain him as manager.
It felt like just a few days ago, the Yankees were waking up to a sprawling baseball sunrise.

The grass in the neighbor's yard may indeed be greener, but sometimes it's just best to stay home.
It's now 2017 and you just have to look at the way other teams hire managers to know the landscape is different. Connection to the team isn't as important.
Well, there are many what-ifs on the board. Let's tackle a few of them, although this is far from a complete list and more like a starter set.
Joe Girardi's biggest failure has always been that he wasn't Joe Torre. He didn't manage like him, he didn't communicate like him, and he didn't win like him. And it's quite unfair to Girardi to be held to that standard, but unfortunately for him, he was the manager who replaced Torre.
There's no reason, explanation or excuse for this move.

As the Houston Astros celebrated their Game 7 victory over the New York Yankees in last week's ALCS, a subtle but significant parallel struck me.
After taking a 3-2 lead in the American League Championship Series over the Astros with a three-game sweep in the Bronx, the Yankees clearly had momentum as they went back to Minute Maid Park.
So, with his four-year, $16 million contract expiring at the end of this month, the baseball world is watching. Will Girardi return? Does he want to? Does the club want him to?
Yankees fans are no doubt disappointed after their team fell one game short of the World Series. But when the pain subsides, they should feel nothing but optimism about the future, WFAN's Mike Francesa said.
The 2018 baseball season will arrive quicker than Aaron Judge can strike out on a breaking pitch around the knees. So, if the Yankees have any lingering disappointment in their runner-up finish in the ALCS, they'd best get over it fast.
