The Cubs haven't won a World Series title since 1908, so they're content to
wait as long as possible until Joe Girardi decides whether to accept an offer
to stay with the Yankees or pursue other opportunities.
There's plenty of guarded optimism because the Cubs have made it clear
through channels that they are willing to top whatever offer the Yankees
tender, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.
Girardi, who is completing a three-year contract that paid him about $3
million in 2013, could be in line for a new contract that is longer than
three years and could be more than $5 million annually, the source added.
The Cubs aren't worried about being in a holding pattern even though the
Yankees won't grant Girardi permission to talk directly to the Cubs as his
contract doesn't expire until Nov. 1.
There's a strong sense that it won't take nearly that long for Girardi to
make a decision, based on his comments to New York writers at the end of the
season.

而据传洋基开了3年12~15M的合约给Joe Girardi
这也表示小熊有可能会开出更大张的约
