Girardi turns down offer of Manager
Quote:
SAN DIEGO -- Baltimore's managerial search took an unexpected turn Thursday, when primary candidate Joe Girardi withdrew his name from consideration. Girardi's agent, Steve Mandel, told ESPN early Thursday that his client was no longer interested in the position, and a high-ranking Baltimore official confirmed that report hours later.
Neither Mandel nor Girardi have returned repeated calls for comment, but the Orioles have scheduled a conference call for 5 p.m. ET when executive Andy MacPhail is expected to address the issue. MacPhail, introduced Wednesday as the team's president of baseball operations, was one of the people who reached out to Girardi in the first place.
