The discussion regarding the new manager of the Yankees is going to be taken this weekend and the news will be spread until Tuesday if MLB's commissioner Bud Selig gives his permission.
After George Steinbrenner left the lead his son Hank has taken care of it next to his brother Hal, the main candidates are Joe Girardi who is a former coach and player of the team and in 2003 was honored the NL Manager of the year; Don Mattingly doesn't have any management knowledge although he is considered one of the favorites, he was New York's hitting coach for 3 seasons and was Joe Torres' bench coach the last season he has being on of the most loved players in the history of the team.
Tony Pena is also another aspirant; between his main recognitions is the AL Manager of the Year in 2003.
The decision will be made by the New York Yankees main authorities, between them the general manager Brian Cashman and Hank Steinbrenner who said between them two have a favorite but nothing definitive as they agree most of the times but "The final Decision hasn't been made" and for sure the best will be chosen, thought this comments his did let any clue to he I is.
