Eric Wedge will turn 50 in January and his 10 years as a big league manager have produced two winning seasons.
When words like "connectivity" and phrases like "communication level" get thrown around in the middle of the Yankees' managerial search, it's not hard to see that a new age has dawned.

Joe Girardi's biggest failure has always been that he wasn't Joe Torre. He didn't manage like him, he didn't communicate like him, and he didn't win like him. And it's quite unfair to Girardi to be held to that standard, but unfortunately for him, he was the manager who replaced Torre.
There's no reason, explanation or excuse for this move.
