The Best in Sports News and Analysis, from Danielle McCartan

Today, October 26, 2017, the New York Yankees opted NOT to reinstate Joe Girardi as manger after his contract expired.

My in-depth reaction and my discussion with YES Network's Chris Shearn - why would Girardi be 'let go'? What made him so special? Who will take his place? And, a bonus discussion on saber-metrics in the MLB and NBA.
