New York Yankees supervisor Aaron Boone is heading into the final yr of his contract. That is probably not the case for for much longer.
Meredith Marakovitz of YES Network reported that group proprietor Hal Steinbrenner desires to start extension talks with Boone. He mentioned the Yankees “can be speaking with him within the days and weeks to come back” about persevering with his tenure in New York.
By most requirements, Boone has had a successful run with the Yankees. A primary-time supervisor who took over forward of the 2018 season, Boone has posted a 603-429 document in his seven seasons, main New York to the postseason six instances. The Yankees reached the World Sequence in 2024, capturing their first AL pennant since 2009.
That isn’t sufficient for a fan base accustomed to profitable. Boone has been below hearth from the followers, significantly in mild of New York’s mistakes throughout the World Sequence. Nonetheless, Yankees common supervisor Brian Cashman informed Randy Miller of NJ.com that he’s “a fan” of Boone.
The issue with transferring on from Boone is discovering a substitute. We ranked Cashman because the eighth-best manager within the majors heading into 2024. In need of any of the managers forward of him changing into obtainable and, in some circumstances, not being taken with retirement, Boone is the most suitable choice.
Boone additionally continues the soundness that the Yankees have loved on the bench. Solely two different managers — Corridor of Famer Joe Torre and 2009 World Sequence-winning skipper Joe Girardi — have been at the helm because the begin of the 1996 season.
Boone is probably not the perfect supervisor within the sport, however he’s a identified amount, and the Yankees may simply do loads worse.
