Joe Girardi might have an opportunity to manage in the majors in 2008 -- even if he doesn't get the Yankees' job. Officials familiar with Girardi's job prospects said Thursday if the Yankees do not hire him to succeed Joe Torre, then Girardi could have a developing opportunity with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The agent for Girardi, Steve Mandel, was asked if Girardi had been approached about a job opportunity with the Dodgers, and Mandel would not comment. Dodgers' manager Grady Little is under contract for next season after the team picked up his option for 2008 on March 7. Little also has a club option for 2009. "Grady Little is our manager," a Dodgers' spokesperson said Thursday.
