Yankees Notes: Eiland, Girardi, Jeter

The Yankees have fired pitching coach Dave Eiland, GM Brian Cashman told reporters today (Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News seemingly tweeted it first).  Cashman said his reasons for the dismissal are private.  Other Yankees notes of interest:

• Cashman will meet with Joe Girardi's agent tomorrow about a new contract, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
• The Yankees and Girardi need each other, says the New York Post's Joel Sherman, though he feels the manager regressed this year.
• Cashman on Derek Jeter, from Feinsand: "He's going to be a part of this franchise. We'll work something out."
• Cashman noted that the team's option decisions on Kerry Wood, Lance Berkman, and Nick Johnson are "all pretty obvious," implying that the three will be declined.
• SI's Jon Heyman previews the Yankees' offseason, guessing they'd gladly sign Cliff Lee for five years and $125MM if he'd take it.  Instead, Lee could look for C.C. Sabathia money.
