A source tells 1050 ESPN New York's Andrew Marchand that the Yankees have officially offered the job to Joe Girardi. He is expected to accept it and the official announcement may come as early as today.

This morning, Yankees GM Brian Cashman told Don Mattingly and Tony Pena that they will not be offered the job. Girardi was in the Denver for the World Series, he is expected to fly to New York for the announcement, which could come as soon as tomorrow.

At one point, Mattingly was viewed as the favorite, because for years George Steinbrenner has looked at Mattingly as Joe Torre's heir apparent. But with Steinbrenner ceding control to his sons, Hank and Hal, they have taken Cashman's recommendation to offer Girardi the job.
