POLL: Do you like the Joe Girardi hire for the Phillies?
How do you feel about the Phillies new manager?

The Philadelphia Phillies are hiring former New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi as their next skipper, a source confirmed to ESPN.



A formal announcement is expected later on Thursday.



Girardi replaces Gabe Kapler, who was fired after two disappointing seasons, including an 81-81 campaign in 2019.



Girardi, 55, played 15 seasons in the Majors, winning three championships with the Yankees. He has spent 11 years as a manager, and guided the Yankees to a title in 2009.
