The New York Yankees have agreed with Joe Girardi to a three year $9 million contract according to Mark Feinsand and Bill Madden from the New York Daily News. They’re putting the final touches on the deal and there might be an official announcement today. The New York Post’s Joel Sherman added that Girardi’s contract will include $450.000-$500.000 in ALCS/ World Series bonuses.

On tuesday Jon Heyman said the Yankees and Girardi were expected to agree to a three-year deal and the negotiations should not take long. Hal Steinbrenner and GM Brian Cashman think very highly of Girardi, and they wanted him to come back with the team.  As for the coaches on Girardi’s staff, none are signed beyond the end of this month.

The 46-year-old Girardi just finished a three-year, $7.5 million deal he signed in October 2007.
