Joe Girardi isn’t concerned about managing the Philadelphia Phillies without a contract extension.Girardi signed a three-year deal in 2019 with a team option for 2023.
The club hasn’t picked up the option and will likely wait to make that decision."It doesn’t make my job tougher," Girardi said Sunday. "I’m going to do the same job no matter what.
I’ve never been extended in a season before so it’s something I’m used to. You play it out. Just like players, managers have to perform.
It’s a production-based business so you have to perform."Girardi is 110-112 in two seasons with the Phillies. He guided the Yankees to a World Series victory over Philadelphia in 2009, and was 910-710 in 10 seasons in New York from 2008-17.The Phillies finished 82-80 last season, their first winning record since 2011, but extended their postseason drought to an NL-worst 10 years.
