"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Yankees and Joe Girardi are beginning contract talks Monday that are expected to keep Girardi as manager an additional three years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Girardi's new deal is expected to pay him about $3 million a year, according to sources. Girardi makes significant off-field monies, including from Taco Bell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There had been speculation about Girardi and the Cubs, but they filled their managerial opening by giving interim Mike Quade a two-year deal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Girardi's first Yankees deal paid him about $7.5 million over three years. This one is expected to be for between $9 million and $10 million. Talks are not expected to take long.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yankees icons Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera are free agents whose negotiations are expected to take longer -- though both are seen as extremely likely to return to the Yankees.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
