The 55-year-old Girardi has interviewed with the Chicago Cubs and is a
candidate for openings with the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.
Girardi compiled a 988-794 (.554) record managing the New York Yankees for 10
seasons (2008-17) and the Florida Marlins for one season (2006). He led the
Yankees to a World Series championship in 2009.
Scott Brosius is replacing Girardi as manager of USA Baseball and will take
over Team USA's preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Training
begins in Arizona next week and qualifier games begin next month in Mexico.
Brosius, 53, had been Girardi's bench coach with the national team. He was an
All-Star third baseman and won three World Series rings with the Yankees in
his 11-year playing career.
