Already in this 2022 season 2 managers have been fired. Joe Maddon and Joe Girardi. There are no other Joe's managing in MLB so maybe everyone else's job is safe. Why change managers in-season - early-mid-late season? We talk about manager changes over the years - even the fairly recent one where the manager was fired with 12 games to go and his successor led the team to a scintillating 7-5 finish to make the playoffs.

Then there's owner George Steinbrenner and his Yankees. There won't ever be another like him. That's probably a good thing overall but it sure wasn't boring in the Bronx in the 1970's & 80's!
