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.

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.
