Well, when one both the Red Sox and Yankees gigs come open, everything else sits in their shadow. It's the best one after that and they could very well get the best candidate in the field if Girardi is willing to dance and the Lerners are willing to pay. It's most definitely a "plum job".
I agree. But the Nats might very well end up getting the third best manager available when it's said and done when given this lineup they should have their pick of managers.
